Description
Shuangshuang Sun, Lin Li, Mengying Xu, Song Liu, and Zhengyang Zhou predict hidden lymph node spread in stomach cancer before surgery, in a 2025 study. Nodes that look clean on scans can still harbor cancer, changing treatment. The team studied 129 patients whose node status was settled after surgery. They combined a CT measure of tissue fluid space with biopsy traits and blood indices in three competing models.
Patients with hidden spread showed larger tumors and higher fluid-space values. The clinical model and the scan model each scored moderately. Together they scored clearly better. Patients the combined model flagged as high risk also relapsed sooner after surgery. The authors propose the model for preoperative planning and follow-up intensity.
