Associations between obesity and lymph node metastasis and early recurrence in pancreatic head cancer: A single-center retrospective cohort study
Key Points
Increased obesity correlates with a higher incidence of lymph node metastasis in pancreatic cancer cases.
Notably, 45% of patients with significant obesity showed early recurrence after treatment, emphasizing a critical relationship.
Retrospective cohort analysis investigated the impact of obesity on disease progression in pancreatic cancer cases observed over five years.
These findings highlight potential interventions that may lower recurrence rates in obese pancreatic cancer patients.
