Filter by:The oncologic benefit of lateral neck dissection (LND) during index operation for sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) basing on basal calcitonin (bCT) levels has been questioned due to the potential post-operative complications. This study aims to evaluate desmoplastic reaction (DSR), as predictor of nodal metastases, for definition of surgical strategy. Data from pathological report of MTC after operations between 1997 and 2022 were collected. The primary endpoint of the study was evaluating the risk factors for nodal metastases. The secondary endpoints analyzed the correlations between DSR and nodal metastases and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of DSR for nodal metastases.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of thoracic computerized tomography (CT) which is a noninvasive method making the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Material-Method: The data of 816 patients who received endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) for mediastinal lymph node sampling and were subjected to other methods were retrospectively analyzed. 192 patients (sarcoidosis: 62, non-sarcoidosis) were included in the study. The thoracic CT findings of the patients were compared in terms of mediastinal lymph node and pulmonary parenchymal involvement.
The observed indexes of the four cervical lymph node diseases were identified by informatics methods, and the differences in the diagnosis of the four diseases were evaluated, so as to improve the clinical diagnosis rate and provide a research basis for the ultrasonic evaluation of the surgical indications of cervical lymph node diseases in the future.
New indications for bronchial echo-endoscopies with transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-PTBA) have appeared since the first French centers with this technique were fitted. Evaluate the respective share of each indication of EBUS-AWPB over time over the period 2008 - 2013
Men with high risk prostate cancer who underwent radiotherapy of the prostate/seminal vesicles or underwent postoperative radiotherapy including pelvic lymph nodes between 2010 and 2016 are analyzed retrospectively. The aims are to estimate progression-free survival as well as toxicity according to CTCAE v4.03.
This trial seeks to establish the role of post-operative radiotherapy in patients who have had surgery for melanoma involving lymph nodes and who are at high risk of recurrence.
