Less than 20 years ago, lymphadenectomy and lymph node dissection were primarily used as staging procedures. Today, studies have shown that the procedures can increase the survival rates in patients with a host of urologic cancers. In this exclusive interview, Urs Studer, MD, professor and chairma...
groups: group I, hysterectomy (HT); group II, hysterectomy plus sentinel lymph node biopsy (HT+SLN); group III, hysterectomy plus pelvic lymphadenectomy, with or without para-aortic dissection (HT+LND); and group IV, hysterectomy plus lymphadenectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy (HT+SLN+LND...
You'll probably get a procedure called a lymph node dissection or lymphadenectomy. Cells from one or more of your nodes are removed. It's a minor surgery that lasts about an hour. You'll be given anesthesia that allows you to sleep through it. ...
However, the efficacy of MIE in lymphadenectomy for stage T3 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, particularly at left para-RLN site, remains to be improved. 展开 关键词: Esophageal cancer Lymph node Minimally invasive Surgery DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v22.i19.4750 被引量: 16 ...
Lymph node dissection, also known as lymphadenectomy, is a surgical procedure in which the lymph nodes are dissected, and a sample of tissue is checked for the presence of malignancy under the microscope. It is an operation usually performed as part of the surgical management of malignant tumors...
Locoregional spread of melanoma to its draining lymph node basin is the strongest negative prognostic factor for patients. Exclusive of clinical trials, patients with sentinel lymph node–positive (microscopic) or clinically palpable (macroscopic) nodal disease should undergo lymphadenectomy. This article ...
Lymph node dissection can be performed unilaterally or bilaterally, depending on tumor location and presurgical staging results. An incision should be made in the skin directly over the lymph node (if palpable), and a combination of blunt dissection and electrocautery can be used with the goal of...
Despite past therapeutic approaches to perform complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) or lymphadenectomy for BC patients, several types of recent research demonstrated that ALND offers minimal or no oncological benefit in overall survival13,14,15. On the other hand, lymphadenectomy could be ass...
Introduction Current guidelines on management of penile carcinoma (PC) recommend ipsilateral pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) in patients with inguinal lymph node metastasis (LNM) who meet specific criteria. The aim of this article was to assess outcomes in patients treated with bilateral PLND in...
