Sentinel Node Mapping in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Using an Intraoperative Radiotracer Technique
Objective(s): Lymph node metastases are the most significant prognostic factor in localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identification of the first nodal drainage site (sentinel node) may improve detection of metastatic nodes. Extended surgeries, such as lobectomy or pneumonectomy with lymph node dissection, are among the therapeutic options of higher acceptab...
متن کامل[68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT for staging and patient management of high-risk prostate cancer: A single-center experience from Iran
Introduction: Accurate staging plays an important role in management of patients with prostate cancer especially in high-risk group. Today, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT should be considered as the preferred imaging tool for treatment planning and initial staging of the disease. Methods: A total number of 628 patients with prostate cancer referred to...
متن کاملPreoperative blood reverse transcriptase-PCR assays for prostate-specific antigen and human glandular kallikrein for prediction of prostate cancer progression after radical prostatectomy.
The association of the results reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) assays for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) with prostate cancer stage and progression remains controversial. We have previously shown that RT-PCR amplification of a native human glandular kallikrein fragment (hK2-L), but not a splice-variant hK2 transcript (hK2-U), performed preoperatively on peripheral blood before radical prost...
متن کاملQuantitative detection of micrometastases in pelvic lymph nodes in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer by real-time reverse transcriptase-PCR.
PURPOSE Routine pathologic examination can miss micrometastatic tumor foci in the lymph nodes of patients with prostate cancer, resulting in confusion during tumor staging and clinical decision-making. The objective of this study was to clarify the significance of micrometastases in pelvic lymph nodes in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The...
