Lymph node involvement is associated with overall survival for elderly patients with non-metastatic gallbladder adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lymph node involvement is recognized as a prognostic factor for patients with gallbladder cancer. However, the N stage varied from different editions of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM Classification. Our objective was to investigate the impact of lymph node involvement on overall survival in elderly patients with non-metastatic gallbladder adenocarcinoma.

Methods

Patients older than 65 years with non-metastatic gallbladder adenocarcinoma were identified from the SEER data. We used Cox proportional hazard regression analysis to select the independent risk factor. A nomogram was built to identify the 1-, 3-, and 5-years' prognostic impact. Univariate and multivariate models were used to examine the correlation of overall survival (OS) with the num
