Radiological tumor density and lymph node size correlate with survival in resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head: A retrospective cohort study

Abstract

Increasing pancreatic tumor density and the lymph nodal size of more than 1 cm are strong predictors of unfavorable overall survival for resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head. Further studies are required to identify the value of these proposed prognostic factors.
