Abstract:
BACKGROUND:To evaluate the prognostic value of lymph node density (LND) in patients with lymph node-positive cervical cancer.
METHODS:A total of 88 consecutive patients were included in our study. Patients were treated with cisplatin-based concomitant chemoradiotherapy after surgical staging was performed at the Medical University of Vienna. Lymph node density, that is, the ratio of positive lymph nodes to the total number of lymph nodes removed, was assessed pathologically. Patients were stratified into two groups according to LND: patients with LND
