How many lymph nodes to stage colorectal carcinoma?
This study aimed to establish the number of cassettes that should be filled with lymph nodes to stage a colorectal carcinoma as Dukes's stage C. The records from the Oxford Colorectal Cancer database of all patients diagnosed with Dukes's stage C cancer from late 1988 to early 1993 were reviewed. Each slide of lymph nodes was examined to determine how many slides needed to be looked at to find ...
متن کاملslanDCs in carcinoma-draining lymph nodes
Dendritic cells (DCs) are known to initiate adaptive immune responses against malignant cells. However, the role in anticancer immunosurveillance of 6-sulfo LacNAc-expressing DCs (slanDCs), a distinct population of circulating and tissue-resident pro-inflammatory DCs, is unclear. We have recently demonstrated the involvement of slanDCs in nodal immune responses against carcinoma cells.
متن کاملNumber of lymph nodes examined and associated clinicopathologic factors in colorectal carcinoma.
CONTEXT Nodal metastasis is one of the most important prognostic factors in colorectal carcinoma. The number of lymph nodes recovered and examined in resection specimens has been recently shown to be critical for proper staging and is associated with survival. OBJECTIVE To assess the clinicopathologic factors that may be associated with the number of lymph nodes harvested from surgical resect...
متن کاملHistopathological assessment of lymph nodes in colorectal carcinoma: does triple levelling detect significantly more metastases?
AIMS Standard practice is to take one section from every lymph node found in colorectal carcinoma resection specimens, to look for metastatic carcinoma. This study evaluates whether assessing three sections separated by 100 microm detects significantly more metastases in nodes than the conventional single section. METHODS A retrospective study of 100 colorectal carcinoma resection specimens. ...
متن کاملLymph node harvesting in colorectal carcinoma specimens.
INTRODUCTION Adequate lymph node evaluation is an important determinant of prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. Current guidelines recommend evaluation of at least 12 lymph nodes; however, a significant number of patients fail to meet these criteria. AIM To investigate the factors that influence adequate recovery and evaluation of lymph nodes in colorectal cancer. METHODS We retros...
