Computed Tomography in the Staging of Testicular Neoplasms

Radiology, 1979
Twenty-six patients with primary testicular tumor were evaluated by computed tomography. It was highly accurate in differentiating lymph node metastases from testicular tumors. CT scanning may reveal tumor in lymph nodes not normally opacified during bipedal lymphangiography. It can also be used in treatment planning, follow-up, and in localizing sites

Current Concepts Review - Evaluation and Staging of Musculoskeletal Neoplasms*

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1998
Staging is the process of classifying a tumor, especially a malignant tumor, with respect to its degree of differentiation as well as its local and distant extent, in order to estimate the prognosis for the patient. Evaluation of the histological and imaging studies of a tumor allows the physician to formulate a rational strategy for treatment with ...

MAGNETIC RESONANCE STAGING OF NEOPLASMS OF THE UTERUS

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1994
The treatment of patients with uterine neoplasms may be significantly altered by the stage of disease at the time of diagnosis. A noninvasive and accurate means of staging these tumors is therefore desirable. This article discusses the magnetic resonance imaging techniques and findings that are essential for the accurate staging of uterine neoplasms ...

Staging of musculoskeletal neoplasms

Skeletal Radiology, 1984
The purposes of a staging system for musculoskeletal neoplasms are to: 1) incorporate the significant prognostic factors into a system which describes progressive degrees of risk of local recurrence and distant metastases to which a patient is subject, 2) stratify the stages so they have specific implications for surgical management,

Role of computerized tomography in the staging of gastrointestinal neoplasms

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 2001
AbstractGastrointestinal neoplasms are very common diseases, and the first challenge for clinicians is to define the extent of the tumor in order to plan the best treatment. The role of computerized tomography in assessing this kind of patient is well established worldwide.

Stage specific transforming genes in lymphoid neoplasms [PDF]

, 1985
Identification of activated cellular transforming genes in a variety of neoplasms has been greatly facilitated by the use of the NIH 3T3 transfection assay. A unique property of the NIH 3T3 cells is that they have the ability to undergo transformation following integration of dominantly acting genes, possibly because they have already progressed some ...

Laparoscopic Staging of Periampullary Neoplasms

2007
The global concept of preoperative staging of malignancies is to select, as well as possible, those patients who are or are not candidates for operative resection. In the case of periampullary neoplasms, we have good, nonoperative palliation for patients with incurable neoplasms.

Endoscopic Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis and Staging of Pancreatic Neoplasms

International Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer, 2001
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of death among Americans. Twenty-eight thousand cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed annually and about the same number of patients die of pancreatic cancer every year. Most patients with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed when the tumor is 3 cm or more in diameter.

Detection and Staging of Renal Neoplasms

2000
CT is widely used in the detection and staging of renal neoplasms (Smith et al. 1989; Stuart Wolf 1998). In comparison with conventional CT, helical CT has further improved the evaluation of renal masses, and particularly the detection and characterization of small renal neoplasms (Bosniak and Rofsky 1996; Curry 1995; Davidson et al. 1997; Szolar et al.

Thoracic neoplasms: Imaging requirements for diagnosis and staging

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1984
This article reviews the pathophysiology of thoracic neoplasms and discusses current imaging recommendations for diagnosis and staging of these tumors. Particular emphasis is given to primary lung cancers, which comprise a variety of tumors of differing histologic type and behavior.
