#OMEGA Node Positivity Prediction Score (OMEGA-NOPPS) to identify node-positive status in #Gallbladder #Cancer using 3️⃣ parameters:

✔️ T-status
✔️ Lymphovascular and perineural infiltration
✔️ Tumor differentiation

Our 2nd publication from the @HPB_OMEGA_study. The OMEGA-NOPPS score predicts risk of positive nodes, which are more likely with poorly differentiated tumours or lymphovascular or perineural invasion, even in early stage tumours . 🙏to all the international OMEGA collaborators
