Extended Perineal Resection of Distal Rectal Cancers: Surgical Advance, Increased Utilization of Neoadjuvant Therapies, Proper Patient Selection or All of the Above? The quick answer is that avoidance ...

Response-guided axillary treatment using an approach known as the MARI protocol can safely spare many women with node-positive breast cancer from axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) after ...

Axillary lymph node dissection is a surgical procedure which is performed to remove lymph nodes in the underarm area. Lymph nodes present in the armpit are known as axillary lymph nodes. An axillary ...

Skipping standard axillary lymph node dissection led to very low rates of axillary recurrence in patients with node-positive breast cancer who became node-negative following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, ...

Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is a procedure to remove lymph nodes in the underarm area when breast cancer has spread, aiming to prevent further spread and recurrence. The procedure involves ...

Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) is a relatively new breast cancer procedure. It allows surgical oncologists to specifically locate a lymph node that contained cancer before chemotherapy, remove it ...

Through the use of preoperative axillary ultrasound (AUS), more patients with clinical node‑positive (cNI) breast cancer and ...

Five-year OS was 94.4% with ALND omission vs 93.4% with completion ALND (HR 0.89), confirming non-inferiority; breast cancer–specific survival was similarly high in both arms. Inclusion of mastectomy ...

A new procedure improves the accuracy of axillary staging and pathologic evaluation in clinically node-positive breast cancer, and reduces the need for a more invasive procedure with debilitating ...

This Canadian study included 111 women (median age 63 years), most of whom (90%, n=100) had invasive ductal carcinoma. Over the entire cohort, more than half (54%, n=60) underwent mastectomy and 46% ...

Trials evaluating the omission of completion axillary-lymph-node dissection in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer and sentinel-lymph-node metastases have been compromised by limited ...

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 ...
