Meta-analysis comparing fluorescence imaging with radioisotope and blue dye-guided sentinel node identification for brea...
INTRODUCTION: Conventional methods for axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) are fraught with complications such as allergic reactions, skin tattooing, radiation, and limitations on infrastructure. A novel technique has been developed for lymphatic mapping utilizing fluorescence imaging. This meta-analysis aims to compare the gold standard blu...
Sentinel lymph node mapping and intraoperative assessment in a prospective, international, multicentre, observational tr...
...
BACKGROUND: SENTIX (ENGOT-CX2/CEEGOG-CX1) is an international, multicentre, prospective observational trial evaluating sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy without pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. We report the final preplanned analysis of the secondary end-points: SLN mapping and outcomes of intraoperative SLN...

...
OBJECTIVE: To perform an external validation of the Cancer of the Bladder Risk Assessment (COBRA) score for estimating cancer-specific survival (CSS) after radical cystectomy (RC) in a large bi-institutional cohort of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients treated with RC and lymph node dissection (LND) between May 1996 and July 2017 were retriev...
Optimising the selection of candidates for neoadjuvant chemotherapy amongst patients with node-positive penile squamous ...
...
OBJECTIVES: To identify predictors of poor overall survival (OS) amongst patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma (pSCC) with clinical inguinal lymphadenopathy (cN+), in order to define the best candidates for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using an international, multicentre database of 924 patients with pSCC, we identif...
Effect of Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection on Oncologic Outcomes in Patients with D'Amico Intermediate and High Ris...
...Published in The Journal of urology
Pelvic lymph node dissection represents the gold standard of lymph node staging in patients with prostate cancer. We sought to assess the effect of extended pelvic lymph node dissection on oncologic outcomes in patients with characteristics of D'Amico intermediate or high risk prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy. In a multi-instituti...
Robot-assisted nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma: results from three high-volume robotic surgery i...
...Published in Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-Assisted NephroUreterectomy (RANU) represents a minimally invasive alternative to open NephroUreterectomy (NU) for management of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC) but its oncologic safety is still controversial. The objective of this study was to investigate the peri-operative, pathologic and oncologic outcomes of RANU for UTUC. From 20...
Salvage Lymph Node Dissection for Nodal Recurrent Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review.
...Published in European urology
Identification of early nodal recurrence after primary prostate cancer (PCa) treatment by functional imaging may guide metastasis-directed therapy such as salvage lymph node dissection (SLND). The aim of this systematic review was to assess the oncological role and the safety of SLND in the era of modern imaging in case of exclusive nodal recurrenc...
Comparison of Peri-operative and Early Oncological Outcomes of Robot-Assisted vs. Open Salvage Lymph Node Dissection in ...
...
Introduction: Salvage lymph node dissection (sLND) has been proposed as a treatment option for prostate cancer patients with lymph node (LN) recurrence following radical prostatectomy to delay or avoid palliative androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Historically sLND has been performed using an open approach, with its associated morbidity. A limited...
Distribution of lymph node metastases in esophageal carcinoma [TIGER study]: study protocol of a multinational observati...
...Published in BMC Cancer
BackgroundAn important parameter for survival in patients with esophageal carcinoma is lymph node status. The distribution of lymph node metastases depends on tumor characteristics such as tumor location, histology, invasion depth, and on neoadjuvant treatment. The exact distribution is unknown. Neoadjuvant treatment and surgical strategy depends o...
