Table 5 Univariate analysis of the metastasis of the lymph nodes around the PGA in 39 patients with the PGA
Clinicopathological factors | Lymph nodes around the PGA with metastasis | Lymph nodes around the PGA without metastasis | Z | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Longitudinal tumor diameter [cm, M (Xmin ∼ Xmax)] | 9.0 (6.0 ∼ 12.0) | 3.7 (0.6 ∼ 10.0) | -1.7 | 0.085 |
Total number of metastatic lymph nodes [n, M (Xmin ∼ Xmax)] | 11.0 (6.0 ∼ 16.0) | 0.0 (0.0 ∼ 16.0) | -2.0 | 0.043 |
Length of the PGA [cm, M (Xmin ∼ Xmax)] | 3.0 (3.0 ∼ 4.0) | 3.5 (2.0 ∼ 6.0) | -1.0 | 0.311 |
Distance from the root of the PGA to the celiac trunk [cm, M (Xmin ∼ Xmax)] | 6.5 (7.0 ∼ 7.0) | 7.0 (2.0 ∼ 11.0) | -0.8 | 0.438 |
