Para-aortic lymph node micrometastasis in patients with node-negative biliary cancer.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The presence of para-aortic lymph node metastasis in biliary cancer negatively impacts prognosis. The present study aims to immunohistochemically identify and evaluate the clinical significance of para-aortic lymph node micrometastases in 66 patients who had undergone curative resection of biliary cancer. METHODS We used an antibody against cytokeratins 7 and 8 (CAM5.2) to imm...
متن کاملCT evaluation of para-aortic lymph node metastasis in biliary cancer patients
Objectives The extent of para-aortic lymph nodes (PANs) metastasis is equivalent to distant metastases in patients with biliary carcinoma. Accurate preoperative assessment of PANs metastasis has a crucial impact on surgical indication. In this retrospective study, we evaluated whether computed tomography (CT) scans were useful for diagnosing PANs metastases and excluding patients with PANs meta...

متن کاملCyberKnife Ablation of a Solitary Para-Aortic Lymph Node Metastasis After Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
Introduction: Radical prostatectomy is an effective curative treatment option for organ-confined prostate cancer. There is a recent trend in offering curative treatment to patients with oligometastatic disease. More sensitive imaging modalities can identify oligometastatic disease that is not usually detected by conventional imaging techniques. Case presentation: We present a case in which a s...
