Surgical management of periampullary adenocarcinoma: defining an optimal prognostic lymph node stratification schema
Conclusion: LODDS performs better than other LN staging systems in predicting OS and PFS for patients with periampullary adenocarcinoma after surgical resection. Adequate LN dissection is necessary for curative surgery, as well as to achieve a more accurate staging of the disease and a more precise prediction of survival for these patients.
