GASTROINTESTINAL CANCERS, LYMPH NODE METASTASIS
PC is the most aggressive and lethal malignancy in gastrointestinal cancers. The overall 5-year survival rate is less than 10%, with few significant improvements for years (Ansari et al. The nomogram model has been widely used in the prediction of lymph node metastasis. However, there is a lack of nomograms for predicting LNM in resectable PC patients preoperatively. In this study, the clinical characteristics of cases diagnosed with PC were analyzed, and a nomogram for predicting LNM was developed, which contributes to providing personalized guidance for resectable PC patients.
