PURPOSE: Lateral lymph node dissection for rectal cancer is challenging because of the presence of blood vessels and nerves essential for postoperative genitourinary function and leg movements. Identifying these structures during surgery is crucial. ...
The role of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN) micrometastases, particularly after neoadjuvant therapy, remains debated. The present study aimed to assess whether adding ALND provides a surv...
The clinical necessity of lymph node dissection in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) surgery remains contentious. This study compared four logistic regression (LR) models (with distinct feature selection strategies) and four machine learning (ML) mod...

PURPOSE: To develop and validate a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT based multimodal deep learning model for predicting pathological lymph node invasion (LNI) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients identified as candidates for extended pel...
Lymph node metastasis in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma significantly impacts overall survival, emphasizing the need for a predictive model. This study involved patients who underwent curative liver resection between different time periods. Three ma...
Endoscopic-assisted breast surgery (EABS) provides better cosmetic outcomes for breast cancer patients with small incisions in an inconspicuous area. However, an extended incision and heavy assistant retraction are usually required for an adequate e...
BACKGROUND: Standard gastrectomy with D2 lymph node (LN) dissection for gastric cancer involves peripancreatic lymphadenectomy [1]. This technically demanding procedure requires meticulous dissection within the dissectable layers of connective tissue...

BACKGROUND: Signet ring cell (SRC) gastric carcinoma is traditionally associated with a poor prognosis. However, the literature has presented contradictory results. Linear models are the standard statistical tools typically used to study these condit...
BACKGROUND: The optimal number of lymph nodes to be dissected during lung cancer surgery to minimise the postoperative recurrence risk remains undetermined. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of the number of dissected lymph nodes on the risk o...
