Impact 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 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. ...
متن کاملImpact of splenic hilar lymph node metastasis on prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer
BACKGROUND Impact of splenic hilar LN dissection during total gastrectomy for proximal advanced gastric cancer is controversial. The objective of this study was to assess the impact on prognosis of splenic hilar lymph node(LN) metastasis compared to that of metastasis to other regional LN groups. STUDY DESIGN Patients who underwent total gastrectomy with D2 LN dissection from 2000 to 2010 wer...
متن کاملCurrent Status and Scope of Lymph Node Micrometastasis in Gastric Cancer
Recently, lymph node micrometastasis has been evaluated for its prognostic value in gastric cancer. Lymph node micrometastasis cannot be detected via a usual pathologic examination, but it can be detected by using some other techniques including immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay. With the development of such diagnostic techniques, the detection rate ...
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...
