背景：最近淋巴结切除率（LNY）已被认可为结肠癌切除充分性的质量指标。不清楚这项措施是否适用于所有年龄。研究设计：对1992年至2004年诊断的所有非转移性结肠癌患者（n = 101，767）的监测、流行病学和最终结果（SEER）数据库进行查询，按年龄分组（
BACKGROUND: Recently lymph node yield (LNY) has been endorsed as a quality measure of colon cancer resection adequacy. It is unclear whether this measure is relevant to all ages. We hypothesized that total lymph node yield (LNY) is negatively correlated with increasing age and overall survival (OS).STUDY DESIGN: The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was queried for all nonmetastatic colon cancer patients diagnosed from 1992 to 2004 (n = 101,767), grouped by age (
