Alternative staging of regional lymph nodes in gastric cancer
The TNM pN stage based on the number of metastatic lymph nodes is an independent prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Many studies have highlighted the phenomenon of stage migration and problems in comparing groups of patients with different numbers of total lymph nodes harvested within TNM staging. The current version of UICC/AJCC and JGCA TNM classifications postulates a minimal number of 16 ...
متن کاملPathological assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes in lung cancer: implications for non-invasive mediastinal staging.
BACKGROUND The use of computed tomography in mediastinal staging of lung cancer relies on the premiss that malignant lymph nodes are larger than benign ones. This hypothesis was tested by linking node size and presence or absence of malignancy and looking at factors possibly influencing the size of benign nodes. METHODS All accessible mediastinal lymph nodes were taken from 56 consecutive pat...
متن کاملPreoperative 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...

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of gravidity with removed lymph nodes and involved lymph nodes after mastectomy surgery in women with breast cancer. Methods: In this ...
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...
