Lymphedema is a condition in which lymph transport is compromised. The factors that govern the timing of lymphatic contractions are largely unknown; however, these factors likely play a central role i...
Obesity causes all types of lymphedema to deteriorate. Obesity-associated lymphedema is by now the most frequent secondary lymphedema and constitutes an entity in its own right. Obesity and its comorb...
Therapeutic lymphadenectomy (TLND) is still performed in most melanoma patients to treat nodal recurrences after initial negative lymph node biopsy (-SLNB), despite the lack of evidence for survival b...
We identified 146 patients with nodal recurrence following -SLNB: 132 underwent TLND and 14 did not. DMFS and MSS were evaluated for the cohorts followed by a matched-pair analysis between the cohorts...
No difference was observed in five-year DMFS (p = 0.454) and five-year MSS (p = 0.945) between the two groups. The matched-pair analysis showed similar results (p = 0.329 and p = 0.363 for DMS...
From this limited retrospective study, TLND for nodal recurrence after a -SLNB does not appear to improve DMFS or MSS in melanoma patients compared to no TLND....
Lymph nodes have contractile structures, but their distribution in a lymph node has been less considered in terms of facilitation of lymph flow. Axillary, inguinal, and mesenteric lymph nodes were col...
Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with duodenal cancer (DC). However, the efficacy and optimal extent of lymph node (LN) dissection have not been thoroughly dis...
A total of 98 consecutive patients with DC who underwent surgical resection (pancreatoduodenectomy,...
The survival of patients with LNM at the Nd stations (...
LN dissection of the Np stations contributed to acceptable survival, whereas LNM of the Nd stations led to poor survival, possibly reflecting advanced tumor progression to systemic disease in patients...
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) originating from connective tissue rarely affect the lymph nodes. However, involvement of lymph nodes in STS is an important aspect of prognosis and treatment. Currently, th...
Axillary reverse mapping (ARM) was introduced in 2007 to identify and selectively preserve upper-extremity lymphatics during axillary lymph node surgery to decrease the risk of lymphedema. The patient...
Patients undergoing ALND with or without immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) were enrolled in a prospective trial at two institutional sites between April 2018 and Decemeber 2022. This report ana...
The inclusion criteria were met by 139 patients, who made up the study population (133 with breast cancer and 6 with other disease). Of the breast cancer patients, 99.2% were female, 35.3% (47/133) we...
In the contemporary patient population undergoing ALND, the positivity rate of the ARM LN was relatively high, suggesting that leaving ARM LNs in patients undergoing ALND may not be oncologically safe...
The purpose of this study was to provide advice for the indication of regional nodal irradiation (RNI) in patients with one to two positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) without axillary lymph node diss...
We conducted a retrospective study in Shandong Cancer Hospital, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, and West China Hospital. Logistic analysis was performed in order to explore the influencing fa...
Between May 2010 and 2020, among the 2,845 patients with one to two SLNs+ undergoing ALND (1,992 patients in the training set and 853 patients in the validation set), there were 34.3% harbored NSLNs+ ...
The nomograms will be useful in estimating positive NSLNs and >3 positive nodes, and they might provide advice for the optimization of RNI....
The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of lymph node yield (LNY), lymph node ratio (LNR), and the number of lymph node metastases (LNMs) in patients affected by oral squamous ...
The study included patients who underwent surgical treatment for primary OSCC. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to determine the optimal threshold values. Kaplan-Meier curves we...
This study enrolled 429 patients. Prognostic thresholds were determined at 22 for LNY, 6.6% for LNR, and 3 for the number of LNMs. The log-rank test revealed a significant improvement in both overall ...
Incorporating LNR or the number of LNMs into the TNM classification has the potential to improve the prognostic value, as in other types of cancers. Particularly, the inclusion of the number of LNMs s...
The sentinel lymph node technique is minimally invasive and used routinely by surgeons, reducing the need for morbid extensive lymph node dissections, which is a significant advantage for cancer stagi...
