Impact of Intraoperative Radiation on Postoperative and Disease-Specific Outcome After Pancreatoduodenectomy for Adenocarcinoma: A Propensity Score AnalysisAmerican Journal of Clinical Oncology, 26
Stage-based survival prediction of pancreatic cancer is strongly influenced by total LN counts and numbers of negative LNs obtained. Although the mechanism remains unclear and could reflect confounding factors (margin status and institutional volume), an attempt to resect and examine at least 15 LNs to yield preferably between 10 and 15 negative LNs seems sensible for curative-intent pancreatectomy.
