Erman Akkus: Our study on lymph node ratio (LNR) in stage-III colon cancer

Erman Akkus, Medical Oncology Fellow at Ankara University, shared a post on X:

“Our study on lymph node ratio (LNR) in stage-III colon cancer.

  • LNR: involved nodes/nodes examined.
  • Adds further prognostication in pN1a-b and N2 TNM stages.
  • Detects patient subgroups in different TNM N sages (pN1a-b and pN2) but with similar prognoses.
  • Adequate and higher number of lymph node sampling.”
