“…6,8,18,19 Lemmens et al 20 also reported that the number of negative lymph nodes had a significant influence on the survival of GC patients regardless of the status of lymph node metastasis. In those study, it is worth noting that negative lymph node count and number of dissected lymph nodes were the independent factors for the prognosis of GC patients.…”

“…3,4 Studies have demonstrated that the number of negative nodes is significantly related to the prognosis of patients with malignancies, including GC. [5][6][7][8] We previously demonstrated that the number of negative nodes could enhance the accuracy of predicting the prognosis of patients for both the N stage and the R PD . 9,10 Recently, we demonstrated that the ratio between negative and positive lymph nodes (R NP ) is associated with prognosis prediction for smallscale patients with positive lymph node metastasis.…”

“…However, even after surgical management, the 5-year overall survival rate is only about 20% in series from the United States [14]. It is generally accepted that gastrectomy with dissection of the regional lymph nodes would improve the 5-year survival of patients with GC cancer [15, 16]. At least of 15 lymph nodes should be retrieval from surgical specimens for accurate postoperative stage according to the 7 th edition tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system for GC [5, 17, 18].…”

“…NLN count has recently been given importance for its significant association with the prognosis of patients with malignant disease [17,25,35-37]. In theory, an increasing number of examined NLNs indicates a comparatively good survival chance of patients with malignant disease after surgery with the aide of authoritative surgical curability and a sound host immune response [17,26,35].…”
