Abstract
Lymph node 8a was an independent prognostic factor in patients with periampullary malignancy, but lymph node 16b1 was not. Survival in those with metastatic lymph node 8a was not significantly different from that in patients with metastatic disease at presentation. Preoperative determination of lymph node 8a status may have important implications in selecting patients for treatment.
