Pelvic lymph node dissection is the only reliable method of staging for clinically localized prostate cancer. Despite the obvious prognostic advantages conferred by accurate staging, pelvic lymph node ...

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 ...

For years, surgery for patients with stage III melanoma - melanoma that has spread to the lymph nodes - involved removing those lymph nodes along with the primary tumor. Known as completion lymph node ...

A phase I study of ADXS-504, a cancer type specific immunotherapy, for patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Background: The therapeutic benefit of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) ...

Patients with testicular cancer who have had the cancerous testicle removed may require resection of lymph nodes, depending on the type and extent of disease as defined by imaging and blood markers.

Recently, omission of axillary lymph node dissection among patients with early breast cancer has been found to have no detrimental effect on outcomes in most cases, continuing a trend toward less ...
