Regional LN involvement demonstrated a logarithmic growth with increasing tumor sizes in patients with resected PDAC . The probability of metastasis in each regional LN for resected PDAC with tumors greater than 40 mm in size was near 17.0% and their overall prevalence of LN metastasis was 70-80%. Among which, 50% of patients had an N2 stage. Such prediction may be a potential and promising tool for guiding lymphadenectomy in PDAC surgery.
