Lymph node dissections, or lymphadenectomies, are surgical procedures that play an important role in cancer treatments. A healthcare professional will remove the lymph nodes and check a tissue sample ...

The role of systematic aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomy (SAPL) at second-look surgery in early stage or optimally debulked advanced ovarian cancer is unclear and never addressed by randomised studies ...

Detection of lymph node involvement in women with IB2–IIB cervical cancer could have a positive effect on survival. We set out to evaluate the incidence of pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph node ...

Cytokine levels in patients (pts) with localized colorectal cancer (CRC) after surgery and their relationship to fatigue and cognitive function No significant financial relationships to disclose. This ...

Limited data are available on survival outcomes after sentinel-lymph-node biopsy alone as compared with lymphadenectomy in cervical cancer. In this multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial, we ...

Patients with penile, vulval or anal cancer, or melanoma of the leg, may require radical inguinal lymphadenectomy as part of the management of their condition. Endoscopic radical inguinal ...

Emma Rossi, MD, in the UNC Department of Obstetric and Gynecology's Division of Gynecologic Oncology, has published a study in Lancet Oncology online that identifies sentinel-lymph-node mapping as a ...

In this study, using a newer version of the NCDB that codes for region of lymphadenectomy and includes additional confounders, we compared survival of women with stage I endometrioid endometrial ...

Academic-center care was independently associated with higher complete oncologic resection rates and improved overall survival versus nonacademic facilities after adjustment for age, comorbidity, and ...

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for early cervical cancer achieved non-inferiority versus pelvic lymphadenectomy, according to results of a large randomized study from China. Patients assigned to SLN ...

A new study identifies sentinel-lymph-node mapping as a safer and less-invasive method of staging endometrial cancer that is equally as accurate as the more traditional lymphadenectomy. Emma Rossi, MD ...
