Skipping standard axillary lymph node dissection led to very low rates of axillary recurrence in patients with node-positive breast cancer who became node-negative following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, ...

Trials evaluating the omission of completion axillary-lymph-node dissection in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer and sentinel-lymph-node metastases have been compromised by limited ...

SAN ANTONIO -- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy that downstaged positive lymph nodes to negative led to a low rate of invasive breast cancer recurrence with either targeted axillary dissection (TAD) or ...

SAN ANTONIO -- Patients with early breast cancer who skipped axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) lived just as long as those who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), the randomized INSEMA ...

Pelvic lymph node dissection is the only reliable method of staging for clinically localized prostate cancer. Despite the obvious prognostic advantages conferred by accurate staging, pelvic lymph node ...

Caecal cancer and ascending colon cancer had slower rates of metastasis to main nodes compared with transverse colon cancer. Routine prophylactic extended lymphadenectomy for the superior mesenteric ...

First-Line, Fixed-Duration Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab Followed by Nivolumab in Clinically Diverse Patient Populations With Unresectable Stage III or IV Melanoma: CheckMate 401 Patients who underwent ...

Lymph node metastasis occurs in "metastatic" lymph nodes, lymph nodes that contain cancer cells that have spread from elsewhere in the body. A part of the immune system, lymph nodes are tiny ...

Extended dissection did not improve recurrence-free or overall survival, but it may have a bladder cancer-specific survival benefit possibly because it removes micrometastases. Extended lymph node ...
