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....
Little attention has been paid in the prognosis of colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). This study aims to explore the predictive capacity of log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS), lymph n...
A retrospective cohort study was designed, and data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Data on demographic characteristics, clinicopathological feature...
A total of 2,198 patients were included in this study. LODDS, LNR, and pN stage were associated with the OS and CSS of colorectal SRCC patients (all...
LODDS displayed a better predictive capacity in the OS and CSS than LNR and pN stage, indicating that LODDS may be effective to predict the prognosis of colorectal SRCC in the clinic....
Metastasis on lymph nodes (LNs), the most common way of spread for primary tumor cells, is a sign of increased mortality. However, metastatic LNs are time-consuming and challenging to detect even for ...
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...
Lymphatic drainage from subcostal nodes, along the costal groove, have not previously been characterized as sites for melanoma drainage and metastasis. This study reports a series of patients with sub...
Patients who presented to our institution between 2005 and 2020 with documented cutaneous melanoma and sentinel lymph node biopsy of a subcostal node (sentinel = S), or metastases to subcostal nodes l...
Six patients had subcostal sentinel nodes (SNs). Primary sites included the posterior trunk and lateral chest wall. Subcostal nodes were found under ribs 10-12. Subcostal SNs had at least one dimensio...
Melanoma can metastasize to subcostal lymph nodes and be found at the time of SN biopsy or identified at recurrence. These small nodes are fed by lymphatic channels that run in the neurovascular bundl...
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...
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare extramedullary tumor mass that carries a high risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and patients with MS are commonly treated with the AML regimen. Howeve...
