Extracapsular tumor extension in cervical lymph nodes: Reconciling the literature and seer data

Head & Neck, 2010
AbstractBackground.Extracapsular extension (ECE) of disease from cervical lymph nodes (LNs) is an important prognostic factor for head and neck cancers; moreover, the presence of ECE has been shown to be a criterion for the addition of chemotherapy to postoperative radiation.Methods.We reviewed the frequency of ECE in the Surveillance, Epidemiology ...

379 PREDICTING EXTRACAPSULAR EXTENSION OF PROSTATE CANCER USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY.

Journal of Investigative Medicine, 2006
Purpose To determine whether the percentage of the volume of the prostate showing abnormal proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy correlates with a higher likelihood of extracapsular extension (ECE) of prostate cancer on high-resolution MR imaging. Methods Patients with a history of androgen blockade therapy, pelvic radiation therapy, more than 2 ...

Declining Rates of Extracapsular Extension After Radical Prostatectomy: Evidence for Continued Stage Migration

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 1999
PURPOSE: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening is responsible for a profound clinical stage migration in newly detected prostate cancers. Extracapsular extension (ECE) is an important predictor of outcome after radical prostatectomy (RP). We examined trends in the rate of ECE for cancers detected by PSA screening in 731 RP specimens between ...

Detection of Extracapsular Extension of Prostate Cancer: Role of Fat Suppression Endorectal MRI

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1999
The purpose of this work was to compare the efficacy of fat-suppressed and non-fat-suppressed fast spin echo (FSE) endorectal MRI in the detection of extracapsular extension (ECE) of prostate cancer by experienced and inexperienced readers.Seventy-nine patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer underwent axial FSE T2-weighted endorectal MRI of the ...

Microscopic extracapsular extension in the axilla: Is this an indication for axillary radiotherapy?

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1995
Although the axilla is often treated with radiotherapy (RT) postoperatively when microscopic extracapsular extension (ECE) of lymph nodal metastases is present, little data are available to assess axillary failure in the absence of such treatment.

Evaluation of extracapsular extension in prostate cancer using qualitative and quantitative multiparametric MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2016
PurposeTo investigate the value of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for extracapsular extension (ECE) in prostate cancer (PCa).Materials and MethodsIn all, 292 patients who received radical prostatectomy and underwent preoperative mpMRI at 3T were enrolled retrospectively.

MP67-20 ASSESSMENT OF MULTIPARAMETRIC MRI FOR LOCALIZING SITE OF EXTENSIVE EXTRACAPSULAR EXTENSION OF PROSTATE CANCER

Journal of Urology, 2014
that might identify these lesions for targeting. However, although identifiable on MRI, anterior lesions show an overlap in appearance between adenomas and tumors making the diagnosis challenging. It is necessary to identify morphological and quantitative characteristics on multi-parametric MRI to help distinguish adenomas from cancer.

What Is the Best Imaging Modality to Predict Extracapsular Nodal Extension?

2019
The extracapsular spread (ECS) of metastatic lymph nodes is associated with aggressive tumor behavior, and is regarded as a major risk factor for local recurrence in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Postoperative chemoradiation is superior to postoperative radiotherapy alone in patients with histologically proven extracapsular ...
