| Core Tip |
The prognostic value of quantitative assessments of the number of retrieved lymph nodes (RLNs) in gastric cancer (GC) patients needs further study. The purpose of this study was to discuss how to obtain a more accurate count of metastatic LNs based on RLNs according to different pT stages and then to evaluate the prognosis of patients. Our results showed that the optimal number of RLNs for pT1-pT4 stage GC patients were 26, 31, 39 and 45, respectively. A greater number of RLNs can reduce the risk of death in patients with pT1, pT2, and pT4 stage cancers but may not pT3 stage. |
