Lymph node metastasis is rare. Patients who present with isolated RLNM have an improved survival compared with patients who present with regional and distant metastasis at diagnosis. Synchronous RLNM with the primary tumor have a poorer outcome than metachronous RLNM in the absence of distant metastasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
