Preoperative Non-Invasive Staging of Lymph Nodes
In this paper a pre-operative non-invasive technique for evaluation and staging of lymph nodes in order to optimize surgical planning is presented. Lymph node stiffness is an useful information for staging and is usually obtained with surgical intervention. In our work 3D dynamic models of lymph nodes are obtained from medical scans. Lymph node models are inserted in a laparoscopy simulator dev...
متن کامل[Stage IB non-small cell lung cancer: impact of the number of lymph nodes examined on survival].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To determine the causes of death in patients operated on for stage IB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to assess the impact on survival of the number of lymph nodes removed. PATIENTS AND METHOD We studied 300 patients operated on for stage IB NSCLC. Only palpable or visible lymph nodes were excised. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were calculated and the surv...
متن کاملLymph nodal staging for non-small-cell lung cancer.
We read with interest Matsuguma et al.’s recent paper in the journal [1] on the optimum method of lymph node (LN) staging for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We congratulate the authors on their elegant analysis of the data to conclude that the LN ratio had the best discriminatory power, followed by the LN number, both of which were superior to the current nodal staging system. Several othe...
متن کاملRole of cervical mediastinoscopy in staging of non-small cell lung cancer without enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes on CT scan.
OBJECTIVE The results of primary surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with involved ipsilateral mediastinal or subcarinal lymph nodes (N2 disease) remains poor. However, several studies suggest that induction chemotherapy could increase long-term survival in patients with N2 disease. Therefore, accurate preoperative staging of the mediastinum remains of paramount importance for the tr...
متن کاملLYMPH NODE REVEALING SOLUTION: A NEW USEFUL METHOD FOR ISOLATION OF MINUTE AXILLARY LYMPH NODES IN BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world. The most important prognostic factor in this cancer is the stage of the tumor. Detection of lymph nodes with or without malignancy is essential for determining the stage of the tumor and setting a therapeutic plan. There are different methods for isolating lymph nodes in surgical specimens of breast cancer in the pathology ...
