Significance of retropharyngeal lymph node dissection in hypopharyngeal cancer.
OBJECTIVE We investigated the risk factors for metastasis to retropharyngeal lymph nodes (RPLNs) and the significance of dissection of RPLNs in hypopharyngeal cancer. Metastasis to the RPLNs is an important prognostic factor in head and neck cancer, especially in hypopharyngeal cancer. METHODS Study subjects were 129 cases who received primary treatment at nine leading medical facilities in t...
متن کاملDissection axillary lymph node count in patient with breast cancer followed by neoadjuvant therapy
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second cause of death in women. It is essential to have the highest level of confidence in axillary staging assessment. Many surgeons and pathologists believe that fewer lymph nodes are present in axillary dissection specimens of women treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to compare the lym...
متن کاملRetropharyngeal lymph node dissection in oropharyngeal cancer treated with transoral robotic surgery.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Assess the role of retropharyngeal lymph node dissection in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS). STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 72 patients with oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma treated with transoral oropharyngectomy, neck dissection, and retropharyngeal node dissection. RESULTS...
متن کاملTransoral robotic retropharyngeal node dissection.
BACKGROUND Surgical access to metastases in the retropharyngeal lymph nodes (RPLNs) could be difficult. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) can be utilized to access RPLNs. The purpose of this study was to describe a TORS approach to RPLN dissection. METHODS A case series of patients undergoing RPLN dissection by TORS was conducted and compared to matched controls (1:2). RESULTS Twelve patient...
متن کاملthe accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy compared with axillary lymph node dissection in breast cancer
background : sentinel lymph node biopsy is used as an accurate staging procedure to detect early breast cancer. several studies have documented that sentinel lymph node biopsy can accurately determine the status of axillary nodes. sentinel node biopsy offers the advantage of accurately staging the axilla and eliminating the need for a full axillary dissection for patients who have a negative se...
