CONTEXT.—: Nodal metastasis of a primary tumor influences therapy decisions for a variety of cancers. Histologic identification of tumor cells in lymph nodes can be laborious and error-prone, especially for small tumor foci.
BACKGROUND: According to the 7th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system, over 50% of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) have N1 disease at initial diagnosis. However, patients with N1 NPC are relatively unde...
INTRODUCTION: The L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1-CAM) and its soluble form sL1 play a prominent role in invasion and metastasis in several cancers. However, its association with breast cancer is still unclear.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the risk of endometrial cancer (EC) and lymph node involvement in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of "AH-only" versus "AH - cannot rule out carcinoma" and to study the value of SLN mapping.
BACKGROUND: Previous studies show that overexpression of EMMPRIN involved in the malignant biological behavior of tumors. This investigation was to disclose the expression status of EMMPRIN in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its clinical value...
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Decisions concerning additional surgery after endoscopic resection of T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) are difficult because preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis (LNM) is problematic. We investigated whether artificia...
