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...
To explore the impact of lymph node diameter on the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of cervical metastatic lymph nodes (CMLNs) from thyroid cancer....
A total of 32 patients with 58 CMLNs from thyroid cancer underwent ultrasound-guided MWA and were included in the retrospective study. Patients were divided into three groups based on the mean largest...
The technical success rate of this study was 100% (32/32), and they showed no major complications. Compared with measurements taken before MWA, the mean largest diameter and volume of CMLNs, as well a...
MWA is a safe and effective method for treating CMLNs, with advantages for localized nodes but limitations for larger ones. Careful consideration and personalized plans are advised, based on comprehen...
Metastasis in a nonsentinel lymph node (non-SLN) is an unfavorable independent prognostic factor in cutaneous melanoma (CM). Recent data did suggest potential value of completion lymph node dissection...
This retrospective study enrolled 656 cases of melanoma who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2009 to 2017. We identified 81 SLN + AM patients who un...
Ulceration, Clark level, number of deposits in the SLN (NumDep) and maximum size of deposits (MaxSize) are independent risk factors associated with non-SLN metastases. We developed a scoring system th...
A scoring system that included ulceration, Clark level, MaxSize, and NumDep is reliable and effective for predicting non-SLN metastasis in SLN-positive AM....
The imaging diagnosis of fracture-related infection is often challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of...
A total of 254 consecutive patients who underwent...
Patients were divided into two groups according to final diagnosis: the infected (N=197) and the non-infected group (N=57). The differences in the inguinal DLN-related parameters, including the long d...
Semiquantitative analysis (especially SUVmax) of the inguinal DLN in...
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...
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 aim of this study is to assess the impact of lymph node ratio (LNR) and number of positive lymph nodes (NPLN) on mortality and recurrence rates in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma....
We conducted a retrospective multicenter international study involving 24 Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery divisions. Disease-specific survival (DSS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were eval...
2507 patients met the inclusion criteria. DSS and DFS were significantly different in the groups of patients stratified according to LNR and NPLN. The 5-year DSS and DFS based on LNR and NPLN demonstr...
Our data demonstrate the potential prognostic value of NPLN and LNR in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma....
We aimed to define the indications for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), the third option for cervical treatment in oral cancer with negative cervical lymph nodes....
The greatest depth of invasion (DOI) and long diameter (LD) of the primary site were used as exposures. SLN metastasis was considered the outcome....
In three trials conducted between 2009 and 2016, 158 patients were eligible and reassigned to this study group. The scatterplot based on the respective values of DOI and LD would eventually be divided...
SLNB-navigated or assisted neck dissection can be added as an effective procedure for N0 neck control....
The metastatic lymph node (LN) ratio (LNR) has shown to be an important prognostic factor in various gastrointestinal malignancies. Nevertheless, the prognostic significance of LNR in gallbladder carc...
From January 2007 to January 2018, 144 advanced GBC patients (T2-4 stages) who underwent curative surgery with at least 6 LNs retrieved were enrolled. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was...
The optimal cut-off point for LNR was 0.28 according to the ROC curve. LNR>0.28 was associated with higher rate of D2 LN dissection (P=0.004) and higher tumor stages (P<0.001). Extent of liver resecti...
LNR is correlated to advanced GBC prognosis and is a potential prognostic factor for advanced GBC with at least 6 LNs retrieved....
To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and malignancy risk of The Sydney System Reporting for Lymph Nodes Cytology....
This study utilized secondary data from 156 cases to conduct a retrospective analysis of a diagnostic test method. During 2019-2021, data were collected at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo's Anatomical Pathol...
There were six cases in the L1 category, thirty-two cases in the L2 category, thirteen patients in the L3 category, seventeen cases in the L4 category, and ninety-one cases in the L5 class. The malign...
