The impact of lymph node ratio (LNR) on survival in colorectal cancer: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the lymph node ratio (LNR) on survival in patients with colorectal cancer.Methods: After excluding patients with metastatic disease and those who underwent palliative surgery, a total of 211 patients who underwent curative surgical resection for colorectal cancer between 2013 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. LNR was calculated as the ratio of the number of metastatic lymph nodes to the total number of lymph nodes examined. Patients were stratified into four groups according to their LNR values: LNR=0, 0
