External Validation of Nomograms for Predicting Pelvic Lymph Node Metastases in Patients with Prostate Cancer and the Added Value of the Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography–based PRIMARY Score [PDF]
Background and objective: The aim of our study was to predict pathological lymph node involvement (stage pN1) in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) and extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) for prostate cancer (PC) and to compare the ...

Dose-sparing effects of novel adjuvants and aluminum hydroxide on two different vaccines in a neonatal mouse model [PDF]
Childhood vaccination provides protection against infectious diseases, but multiple vaccinations are required to achieve this. In situations like influenza epidemics or COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine demands may exceed production capacity, highlighting the ...

Correlation between clinical and pathological nodal status in hepatocellular carcinoma: identifying risk factors for lymph node metastasis via the national cancer database [PDF]
Background Lymph node metastasis (LNM) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with significantly worse prognosis, yet its detection and risk stratification remain challenging in clinical practice.
