The authors established a detailed ILN distribution map and displayed lymphatic drainage patterns with definite pathological evidence using a large cohort of PC patients. Single positive ILNs and first-station metastatic zones were observed in any region, even directly with deep ILN metastasis. Only rILND can ensure tumor-free resection without the omission of positive nodes.
