A single-center, randomized controlled trial conducted by researchers from Taiwan has shown that patients with gastric cancer who undergo extensive, D3 LYMPH-NODE DISSECTION have higher survival rates ...

Omitting completion axillary lymph node dissection does not increase risk for death for patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer, but it does significantly improve arm distress.Data from ...

The largest randomized trial of its kind to date found noninferior survival and better arm morbidity among patients with breast cancer who did not undergo completion axillary lymph node dissection.

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 ...

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 ...

Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is a procedure to remove lymph nodes in the underarm area when breast cancer has spread, aiming to prevent further spread and recurrence. The procedure involves ...

Lymph node dissections, or lymphadenectomies, are surgical procedures that play an important role in cancer treatments. A healthcare professional will remove the lymph nodes and check a tissue sample ...

An investigator reported 10-year follow-up data from a phase 3 trial of extended vs limited pelvic lymph node dissection during radical prostatectomy.

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 ...

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 ...
