Clinical Implications of Immunohistochemically Demonstrated Lymph Node Micrometastasis in Resectable Pancreatic Cancer
The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical significance of nodal micrometastasis detected by immunohistochemistry in patients that had undergone curative surgery for pancreatic cancer. Between 2005 and 2006, a total of 208 lymph nodes from 48 consecutive patients with pancreatic cancer that had undergone curative resection were immunostained with monoclonal antibody against pan-ck ...
متن کاملPara-aortic lymph node micrometastasis in patients with node-negative biliary cancer.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The presence of para-aortic lymph node metastasis in biliary cancer negatively impacts prognosis. The present study aims to immunohistochemically identify and evaluate the clinical significance of para-aortic lymph node micrometastases in 66 patients who had undergone curative resection of biliary cancer. METHODS We used an antibody against cytokeratins 7 and 8 (CAM5.2) to imm...
متن کاملImpact on Prognosis of Lymph Node Micrometastasis and Isolated Tumor Cells in Stage II Colorectal Cancer
PURPOSE Even though the importance of micrometastases (MMS) and isolated tumor cells (ITC) has been brought up by many physicians, its impact on the prognosis in stage II colorectal cancer is uncertain. In this research, we tried to investigate the clinical features of MMS and ITC and to prove any correlation with prognosis. METHODS The research pool was 124 colorectal cancer patients who und...
متن کاملPrognostic value of genetically diagnosed lymph node micrometastasis in non-small cell lung carcinoma cases.
The predictive value of lymph node micrometastasis, detected by immunohistochemical or genetic methods, is well appreciated in terms of prognosis. However, a major problem is high false-positive rates, because most methods focus on cytokeratin, which is a component not only of carcinoma but also normal epithelial and nonepithelial cells. Mutant allele-specific amplification (MASA) can detect DN...
متن کاملCurrent status of lymph node micrometastasis in gastric cancer
Lymph node metastasis is one of the most important prognostic factors in patients with gastric cancer. An inadequate number of dissected lymph nodes is an independent risk factor affecting recurrence, even in patients who are node negative. Oddly, certain early-stage patients still experience recurrence or metastasis within a short time, even if they have undergone standard radical mastectomy. ...
