Jugulo-omohyoid lymph nodes (JOHLN) metastasis has proven to be associated with lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM). This study aimed to reveal the clinical features and evaluate the predictive value...
A total of 550 patients pathologically diagnosed with PTC between October 2015 and January 2020, all of whom underwent thyroidectomy and lateral lymph node dissection, were included in this study....
Thyroiditis, tumor location, tumor size, extra-thyroidal extension, extra-nodal extension, central lymph node metastasis (CLNM), and LLMM were associated with JOHLN. Male, upper lobe tumor, multifocal...
JOLHN metastasis could be a clinically sensitive predictor of further LLM. A high-performance nomogram was established, which can provide an individual risk assessment of LNM and guide treatment decis...
Regional lymph node micrometastases from Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) can be treated with completion lymph node dissection (CLND) and/or radiation therapy (RT). It is unclear how these options compare ...
This retrospective cohort study used data from years 2012-2019 of the National Cancer Database. Patients with MCC and clinically negative, but pathologically positive, lymph node metastases who receiv...
A total of 962 patients were included [median (interquartile range) age, 74 (67-80) years, 662 (68.8%) male patients, 926 (96.3%) white patients]. The majority (63%, n = 606) had a CLND only, while 18...
The usage of RT for nodal micrometastasis in MCC is increasing as compared with CLND. This strategy appears to be safe, with no significant difference in survival outcomes....
The treatment strategies for colorectal cancer (CRC) must ensure a radical cure of cancer and prevent over/under treatment. Biopsy specimens used for the definitive diagnosis of T1 CRC were analyzed u...
A total of 146 T1 CRC cases were analyzed. The specimens for analysis were mainly biopsy specimens, and in the absence of biopsy specimens, the mucosal layer of the surgical specimens was analyzed. Th...
Each developed model could predict lymph node metastasis risk with a > 90% accuracy in each region of interest of the training cases. Lymph node metastasis risk was predicted with 81.8-86.3% accuracy ...
AI models suggest an association between biopsy specimens and lymph node metastases in T1 CRC and may contribute to increased accuracy of preoperative diagnosis....
A 48-year-old HIV-positive patient presented at the otorhinolaryngology department with a growing mass on the left side of his neck, fever and night sweats. Biopsy demonstrated a granulomatous, necrot...
Lymph node mapping for tumor micrometastasis is of great significance for the prevention, prognosis, and treatment of cancer. Currently, the traditional clinical detection methods (computed tomography...
This research was aimed at investigating the role of ultrasound elastography (UE) in evaluating the properties of axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer and exploring the influencing factors of lymph n...
To determine the predictors of pelvic lymph-node metastasis in cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of penis....
Data was retrospectively collected from 267 cases of SCC penis that presented at our institute between 2009 and 2019. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify indep...
Pelvic Lymph-Node Metastasis (PLNM) was pathologically detected in 56 groins (29.2%). A cut-off of 0.25 was calculated for LNR based on ROC. LNR >0.25 (p = 0.003), ENE (p = 0.037), and LVI (p = 0.043)...
LNR >0.25, LVI and, ENE are independent predictors of PLNM. The discriminative ability of LNR was better than PLN. PLND could be avoided if no risk factors are present....
The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with lymph node yield (LNY) during surgeries for pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) and to determine effects of lymph node density (LN...
The SEER Research Plus database was searched for data on patients with PSC from 1988 to 2018. Poisson regression was used of all patients with PSC to identify relevant factors associated with LNY. Uni...
There were 545 eligible patients in the study sample, 175 of which were LN-positive. These patients had significantly lower 5-year OS than those with no positive LNs ( P <0.001). Poisson regression an...
Patients with PSC with high LND experienced worse outcomes than those with low LND. Further risk stratification of patients with PSC may help to improve survival benefits based on prognostic indicator...
The main objective of this study is to analyze the efficacy of combined axillary marking (lymph node clipping and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB)) for axillary staging in patients with primary syste...
We conducted a prospective study in which lymph node staging was performed using wire localization of positive lymph nodes and a SLNB with dual tracer. All patients who presented no metastatic involve...
Eighty one patients met the inclusion criteria. We identified and extirpated the clip/ wire-marked node in 80 of 81 patients (98.8%), with SLNB performed successfully in 88,9% of patients. The SLN and...
The combined axillary marking (clip and SLNB) in patients with metastatic lymph node at diagnosis and PST offers a high identification rate (98.8%) and a high correlation between the wire-marked lymph...
Lymph node status is critical for staging rectal cancer and determining neoadjuvant therapy regimens. Establishing a matching between imaging and histopathological lymph nodes is fundamental for predi...
Fifty-two patients with histopathologically verified rectal cancer underwent magnetic resonance imaging before surgery. The status of each lymph node in the surgical specimens was analyzed histopathol...
A total of 346 mesorectal lymph nodes were located on imaging evaluation, of which 313 were confirmed histopathologically, and 33 were unmatched. The total success rate of the technique was 90.5%. Nod...
The technique to match mesorectal lymph node imaging findings to histopathology was feasible and effective. It simplified the technical method and had a reasonable success matching rate, which could p...
