Axillary lymph node (LN) metastasis is the most important predictor of overall recurrence and
survival in patients with breast cancer, and accurate assessment of axillary LN involvement …

Adoption of urbanised lifestyles together with changes in reproductive behaviour might
partly underlie the continued rise in worldwide incidence of breast cancer. Widespread …

BACKGROUND: The management of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) has been complicated
by a lack of detailed prognostic data and by the presence of conflicting staging systems …

Background Completion axillary lymph node dissection is overtreatment for patients with
sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis in whom the metastatic risk of residual non-SLN …

Prognostication of newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) predominantly relies on stage
as defined by the UICC-TNM and American Joint Committee on Cancer classifications …

Purpose Several models have been developed to predict nonsentinel lymph node (non-SN)
status in patients with breast cancer with sentinel lymph node (SN) metastasis. The purpose …

Purpose In the current pTNM classification system, nodal status of breast cancer is based on
the number of involved lymph nodes and does not account for the total number of lymph …

Methods: We identified 509 patients with invasive breast cancer with a positive SLN who
underwent completion axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Clinicopathologic data …

Background Microbubbles and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a new technique for
locating sentinel lymph node (SLN). The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility of SLNs …

AIMS: A meta-analysis was performed to identify the clinicopathological variables most
predictive of non-sentinel node (NSN) metastases when the sentinel node is positive …
