Popis: ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Lymph node status is vital for gastric cancer (GC) prognosis, but the conventional pN stage may be limited by variations in lymphadenectomy and stage migration. The N-Ratio, which assesses the ratio of metastatic to resected lymph nodes, emerges as a promising prognostic tool. AIMS: To assess N-Ratios prognostic value in GC, particularly in patients with 0.05) and N-Ratio 1 (66.2 vs. 50%, p=0.504, p>0.05) groups. The DFS of N-Ratio-0 cases with
