Core Tip	This study aimed to explore factors that have an influence on survival of patients with appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors. We identified the optimal number of examined lymph nodes that could achieve the best survival for patients with appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors with different lymph node statuses. Furthermore, lymph node ratio takes both examined lymph nodes and positive lymph nodes into account. We also identified the optimal value of lymph node ratio that could achieve the best survival for node-positive patients.
