Lymph node dissection for Siewert II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma: Erratum

The present study was aimed to investigate the application of right thansthoracic Ivor-Lewis (IL), left transthoracic (LTT), and left thoracoabdominal (LTA) approach in Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).The data of 196 patients with Siewert type II AEG received surgical resection in our cancer center between January 2014 and April 2016 was retrospectively analyzed...

Significance of sentinel lymph node micrometastases in human breast cancer.

BACKGROUND The significance of micrometastatic disease in the sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) of patients with invasive breast cancer has been questioned. The objective of our study was to review the impact of micrometastatic carcinoma detected by SLN biopsy. STUDY DESIGN Between January 1997 and May 2004, 2,408 patients with invasive breast cancer and an SLN with micrometastatic (N0[i+], N1mi) or...

[Clinical significance of lymph node micrometastases in cervical cancer].

In most cancers of epithelial origin, metastases to the lymph nodes constitute the most important prognostic factor and are predictive of the results of the surgical and adjuvant therapies. Data on the lymph node status allows to design an appropriate treatment plan. Despite advances in gynecologic oncology the importance of lymph node micrometastases in cervical cancer especially in nonsentine...

Lymph Node ‘Micrometastases’ and ‘Microinvolvement’ in Esophageal Carcinoma

The development of new sensitive immunohistochemical methods allows the detection of single tumor cells or cell clusters in lymph nodes staged as tumor free on routine histologic examination. The prevalence and prognostic impact of these so-called lymph node ‘micrometastases’ has been studied in a variety of different tumor types. Only limited and still somewhat conflicting data are available f...
