Nodal Spread by Site of Cancer
AIM: The incidence of Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is increasing and its treatment is still debated, primarily because of the non-uniform definition of EGJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The most used classification of EGJ cancer was proposed by Siewert and it divides the EGJ in three regions: from 5 to 1 cm above the Z line (Siewert type I or esophageal Adenocarcinoma), from 1...
متن کاملSLN melanoma micrometastasis predictivity of nodal status: a long term retrospective study
BACKGROUND Completion lymph node dissection (CLND) is the gold standard treatment for patients with a positive sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. Considering the morbidity associated with CLND it is important to identify histological features of the primary tumor and/or of SLN metastasis that could help to spare from CLND a subset of patients who have a very low risk of non-SLN metastasis. The o...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Total Mesorectum Excision
The main controversy of colon-rectal laparoscopic surgery comes from its use as a cancer treatment. Two points deserve special attention: the incidence of port-site tumor implantation and the possibility of performing radical cancer surgery, such as total mesorectum excision. Once these points are addressed, the laparoscopic approach will be used routinely to treat rectal cancer. To clarify the...
متن کاملComparing nodal versus bony metastatic spread using tumour phylogenies
The role of lymph node metastases in distant prostate cancer dissemination and lethality is ill defined. Patients with metastases restricted to lymph nodes have a better prognosis than those with distant metastatic spread, suggesting the possibility of distinct aetiologies. To explore this, we traced patterns of cancer dissemination using tumour phylogenies inferred from genome-wide copy-number...
متن کاملThe new strategy of selective nodal dissection for lung cancer based on segment-specific patterns of nodal spread.
A new strategy for selective nodal dissection in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients according to the segment of primary tumor was explored. Data on 504 patients with NSCLC of less than 5 cm, histologically revealed to be N2 disease after thoracotomy, were analyzed. In right upper lobe (RUL) tumor, when the pretracheal node was negative, the incidence of subcarinal involvement was 3.8%....
