Mediastinal Lymph Node Stations
Mediastinal cystFull minimally invasive evaluation of all lymph node stations (with the exception of station 6) is now possible with the advent of endobronchial and trans -esophageal endoscopic ultrasound. Endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) allows sampling of mediastinal lymph nodes ...
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for Mediastinal Lymph Node Dissection S. ScottBalderson,Thomas A.D’Amico, inAtlas of Thoracic Surgical Techniques, 2010 Step 1Surgical Anatomy ♦ Complete dissection ofmediastinal lymph nodestations is contingent on a thorough understanding of the anatomic consideratio...
(FNA) of mediastinal lymph node stations 2L, 4L, 7, 8, and 9. Pulmonologists can use transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA), as well as endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) FNA, which allows for tissue sampling of the bilateral station 10-12 LNs (hilar and peripheral stations) in addition to...
This study evaluated the prevalence and quantity of lymph nodes at particular stations of the mediastinum in patients with lung cancer. These data are important to radiologists, pathologists, and thoracic surgeons because they can serve as a benchmark when assessing the completeness of lymph node dis...
LYMPH nodesTUBERCULOSISThe aim of the study was to assess the accuracy of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in mediastinal lymph node staging of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a region with a high prevalence of granulomatous disease. Between M...
Thoracoscopic mediastinal lymph node sampling: Useful for mediastinal lymph node stations inaccessible by cervical mediastinoscopy Cervical mediastinoscopy is useful for the diagnosis of paratracheal lymph node metastasis from bronchogenic carcinoma. Access to adenopathy in the aorticopulmonary window, anterio...
Lymph node tissues were collected from different lymph node stations according to the location of the patient's tumour. CK19, EpCAM and CEACAM5 gene expressions were analysed in tissues using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to detect micrometastasis in distant lymph nodes. Results ...
Results: In the first group,21 cases harbored nodal metastatic disease (17.2%),17 (80.9 %)of the positive cases had positive sentinel nodes (stations #10, 11, 12) included among positive lymph nodes, or as the only positive lymph node.In the second group,23 harbored metastatic disease (...
