Preoperative identification of lymph node metastases is essential to allow for adequate surgical planning by determining extent of initial surgery, thereby optimizing recurrence-free survival outcomes. Postoperatively, surveillance of neck nodes allows for early detection of disease recurrence. Neck sonography...

One thousand three hundred and thirty-two paired clinical and nonblinded sonographic tests of the locoregional lymph node areas were performed. Lesions suspicious of metastases were examined histopathologically. Of note, sensitivity [0.9394 (95% confidence interval: 0.7977-0.9926)] and specificity [...

Therefore we prospectively investigated the number and size of lymph nodes (LN) expressed as the total lymph node volume (tLNV) within the hepatoduodenal ligament (HDL) in 48 consecutive patients with PBC and in 43 healthy controls (hc).Methods: In the present study the LN in the liver ...
Sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) are the first station of lymph nodes that extend from the breast tumor to the axillary lymphatic drainage. The pathological status of these LNs can predict that of the entire axillary lymph node. Therefore, the accurate identification of SLNs is necessary for sentinel...
