Abstract
Objective: To examine the value of number of metastatic lymph nodes(NMLN), lymph node ratio(LNR) and log odds of metastatic lymph nodes(LODDS) in assessing the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC). Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 440 ICC patients who underwent curative-intent resection in 10 of Chinese hepatobiliary surgery centers from January 2010 to December 2018 were collected, and the deadline of follow-up was April 30th, 2019. Among them, 205 were males and 235 were females, with age of (57.0±9.9) years (range:23-83 years).Eighty-five cases (19.3%) had intrahepatic bile duct stones, and 98 cases (22.3%) had chronic viral hepatitis.The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. The univariate and multivariate analysis were implemented respectively using the Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard model. Results: A total of 440 patients underwent curative-intent resection and lymphadenectomy.R0 resection were achieved in 424 cases (96.4%) and R1 resection were in 16 cases (3.6%). The results of postoperative pathological examination showed that high, moderate and poor differentiation was 4.2%(18/426), 60.6%(258/426) and 35.2%(150/426), respectively.Adenocarcinoma was seen in 90.2%(397/440) and non-adenocarcinoma was seen in 9.8%(43/440), respectively. T stage: 2 cases (0.5%) with Tis, 83 cases(18.9%) with T1a, 97 cases(22.0%) with T1b, 95 cases(21.6%) with T2, 122 cases (27.7%) with T3 and 41 cases(9.3%) with T4.The overall median survival time was 24.0 months, and the 1-,3-, and 5-year survival rate was 74.3%, 37.7% and 18.3%, respectively. Lymphatic metastasis occurred in 175 patients(39.8%), the median total number of TNLE(M(Q(R))) was 6(5), the median number of NMLN was 0(1), the median number of LNR was 0 (0.33) and the median number of LODDS was -0.70(-0.92). Rerults of univariate analysis showed that combined stones, pathological differentiation, vascular invasion, LODDS, margin and T staging affected the prognosis (all P<0.05). Rerults of multivariate analysis showed that pathological differentiation, LODDS, margin, and T staging were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of ICC patients (all P<0.05). Conclusion: LODDS could be used as an optimal prognostic lymph node staging index for ICC, and it is also an independent risk factor for survival after curative intent resection.

A modified subclassification to evaluate the survival of patients with N3 gastric cancer: an international database study. BMC Cancer 2019; 19:21.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The eighth TNM classification for gastric cancer categorizes N3 as N3a and N3b in the final pathologic stage. The cutoff for N3a/N3b is defined as 15 metastatic lymph nodes, but the rationale for this cutoff remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the optimal N3a/N3b cutoff and evaluate its prognostic significance. METHODS An international database was constructed by combining data from patients with N3 gastric cancer and complete five-year follow-up data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program database (n = 1833) and the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital database (n = 920) (total n = 2753). A log-rank test was performed to determine the optimal N3a/N3b cutoff, and its prognostic significance was confirmed in a two-step multivariate analysis and compared to that of the eighth TNM. RESULTS A cut-point analysis performed at each metastatic lymph node number identified the greatest survival difference between N3a and N3b at 13 metastatic lymph nodes (χ2 = 157.671, P = 3.65 × 10- 36). In patients with 14-15 metastatic lymph nodes, prognoses were significantly worse than those in patients with 7-13 metastatic lymph nodes (P < 0.001) but similar to those in patients with > 15 metastatic lymph nodes (P = 0.078). Therefore, patients with 14-15 metastatic lymph nodes were incorporated into a modified N3b classification. In the two-step multivariate analysis, the eighth N3 classification fell out of the model, while the modified N3 classification remained intact (HR 1.51, P < 0.001). Further analyses demonstrated that the modified TNM classification had superior homogeneity, discriminatory ability, and gradient monotonicity compared to the eighth TNM classification. CONCLUSIONS For improved prognostic stratification, we recommend adjusting the cutoff for subclassification of N3 gastric cancer to 13 metastatic lymph nodes.
