Abstract

Unlike primary gastric cancer, a remnant gastric cancer (RGC) staging system has not been established. The retrieved lymph node counts (RLN) in RGC is generally lower than that in primary gastric cancer, so it is unclear whether positive lymph node count reflects the RGC patient's survival. Therefore, the lymph node ratio (LR) may be more useful for RGC staging than the 7th edition UICC classification. Patients (n = 191) who underwent gastrectomy with curative intent for RGC participated in this study. LR was classified as LR = 0, 0 < LR ≤ 0.1, 0.1 < LR ≤ 0.4, and 0.4 < LR. Modified TNM staging (mTNM-LR) was established by combining the pT (7th UICC) with LR. The predictive accuracy of LR and mTNM-LR was compared with that of the pN (7th UICC) and TNM (7th UICC), respectively. The mean RLN was 14.4 and that of 128 patients (67 %) was ≤15. Fifty-one patients (27 %) had metastatic lymph nodes. Multivariable analyses revealed that pT (7th UICC) (p < 0.001) and pN (7th UICC) (p = 0.001), but not LR, were independent risk factors for overall survival. The overall c-index (95 % confidence interval) of each staging system was as follows: pN (7th UICC): 0.700 (0.627-0.771); LR: 0.701 (0.627-0.775), TNM (7th UICC): 0.808 (0.761-0.870); mTNM-LR: 0.807 (0.737-0.871). There were no significant differences in the predictive accuracy between pN (7th UICC) and LR, and TNM (7th UICC) and mTNM-LR. LR was not superior to pN (7th UICC). Thus, the 7th edition UICC classification is a practical and reliable staging system for RGC.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 December 2016.
All research outputs
#8,025,540
of 24,266,964 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Surgical Oncology
#2,827
of 6,827 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#127,420
of 358,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Surgical Oncology
#70
of 177 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,266,964 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 66th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,827 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 358,487 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 177 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its contemporaries.
