The correlation between the preoperative lymph node count (LNC) on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and the prognosis of gastric carcinoma (GC) remains to be defined. This research aims to evaluate the prognostic value of LNC on MDCT in GC patients based on tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging, using different size criteria for counting.
