The Quality of Lymph Node Harvests in Extralevator Abdominoperineal Excisions [PDF]

BMC Surgery, 2020
Abstract Background:Lymph node (LN) harvest in colorectal cancer resections is a well-recognised prognostic factor for disease staging and determining survival, particularly for node-negative (N0) diseases. Extralevator abdominoperineal excisions (ELAPE) aim to prevent “waisting” that occurs during conventional abdominoperineal resections (APR)

Complications in lymph node excision in the head and neck area

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2022
Although needle biopsy is widely used in work-up of lymphadenopathy, lymph node excision (LNE) is often required especially in lymphoma diagnostics. LNE is an invasive procedure, which carries a potential risk of complications. However, comprehensive studies evaluating the spectrum and occurrence of complications are lacking.This study addresses the ...

Lymph node ratio, number of excised nodes and sentinel-node concepts in breast cancer [PDF]

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 2010
We read with great interest the review by Pepels et al. [1] on the safety of withholding axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) to the patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer. According to the survival and local control results from the NSABP B-32 randomised phase 3 trial [2] the authors concluded that in the patients with T1 or small T2 ...

Number of Excised Lymph Nodes as a Quality Assurance Measure for Lymphadenectomy in Melanoma [PDF]

JAMA Surgery, 2014
Although the number of excised lymph nodes (LNs) represents a quality assurance measure in lymphadenectomy for many solid tumors, the minimum number of LNs to be dissected has not been established for melanoma.To investigate the distribution of the number of excised LNs in a large patient series (N = 2526) to identify values that may serve as ...

The number of excised lymph nodes is associated with survival of melanoma patients with lymph node metastasis

Annals of Oncology, 2014
Although the number of excised LNs has been associated with patient prognosis in many solid tumors, this association has not been widely investigated in cutaneous melanoma. This study aims to evaluate the association between the number of excised regional lymph nodes (LNs) and melanoma-specific survival.Clinico-pathological data from 2507 patients with

Lymphedema Development and Lymphatic Function following Lymph Node Excision in Sheep [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Research, 2009
<i>Background:</i> Our objective was to develop an animal model of postsurgical lymphedema that would permit quantitation of edema and lymphatic function after the removal of a single popliteal lymph node in sheep. <i>Methods:</i> As a measure of lymph transport, ¹²⁵I-human serum albumin was injected into ...

Potential Use of Transferred Lymph Nodes as Metastasis Detectors after Tumor Excision [PDF]

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2015
Due to the fact that it reliably results in positive outcomes, lymph node flap transfer is becoming an increasingly popular surgical procedure for the prevention and treatment of lymphedema. This technique has been shown to stimulate lymphoangiogenesis and restore lymphatic function, as well as decreasing infection rates, minimizing pain, and ...
