Our main objective is to evaluate the association between the size of the tumor and the number of lymph node metastases in patients with PTC. Methods: We conducted an electronic retrospective chart review of 125 patients with PTC followed in the Head and Neck Department at KAMC from 2009 to ...
Full size image At the in vivo experimental level, oe-IBSP143B cells were injected into the right footpad of nude mice to establish the lymph node metastasis model. The results indicated that, compared to the NC group, the volume and weight of tumors in the oe-IBSP group significantly incr...
Any features that could identify patients having increased risks of occult lymph node metastases would allow more aggressive treatment and, possibly, a better outcome.MethodsA chart review of lip cancer from this institution identified 1001 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lip.
