Observational analysis explores metastatic lymph node ratio impact on survival in gastric cancer, suggesting its potential as a prognostic factor.
Gastric cancer remains an important health problem. Although the classical staging system is the tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) system, stage migration phenomenon may occur depending on the number of lymph nodes removed. Therefore, although there are opinions that lymph node metastasis rate can be used as an alternative to TNM, a clear cut-off value has not been determined. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the survival in TNM staging according to the metastatic lymph node rate.
