“…However, lymph node involvement increased from 23.8% in patients operated on within 8 weeks to 26.5% in those operated on after 8 weeks, with significant differences noted in poorly differentiated tumors (G3). The KRONOS SCORE, based on age, tumor grade, and size, was validated, showing a higher risk of lymph node involvement with higher scores.DiscussionAlthough TTS did not significantly affect most clinical and pathological parameters, a trend towards increased lymph node involvement with prolonged TTS was observed, particularly in patients with poorly differentiated tumors (G3). …”
