Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2006 - "In stage IB cervical cancer we used the best treatment choice: radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection." 09/01/1998 - "CONCLUSIONS: PLTE for advanced pharyngeal or cervical esophageal tumors is the best treatment currently available, but it is indicated only in very selected cases: when it is technically impossible to perform reconstruction with a free jejunal graft after circumferential pharyngolaryngectomy; as primary surgery, rather than as salvage surgery following chemoradiotherapy; after careful preoperative morphologic and endoscopic assessment of the extent of the tumor; and in patients able to tolerate a thoracotomy for an esophagectomy with lymphadenectomy" 03/01/1980 - "The best results from treatment of nonseminomatous germinative testicular tumors were obtained according to the following regimen: Stage A: (Tumor limited to the testis without invasion of the cord): Radical orchiectomy, lymphadenectomy, immune stimulation" 12/01/1999 - "OBJECTIVE: The authors present demographic and surgical data from a randomized phase III trial, instituted by the EORTC Genitourinary Group in 1988, the aim of which was to assess whether complete lymph node dissection in conjunction with radical nephrectomy for renal cell cancer is more effective than radical nephrectomy alone" 03/01/2006 - "In the surgical treatment of this neoplasm, complete axillary lymphadenectomy is important for the local clearance of the clinically involved lymph nodes" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Neoplasm Metastasis (Metastasis) 01/01/2000 - "The evaluation of treatment outcome proved that bilateral lymphadenectomy, as suggested by Bocca, is highly effective in management of lymph node metastases." 01/01/1992 - "The best treatment results are by patients treated with radical vulvectomy and regional lymph node dissection, without histological founded metastases in the extirpated lymph nodes--69.24% five years survival" 09/01/2000 - "CONCLUSION: The results of the present study have suggested that radical gastrectomy combined with lymphadenectomy is essential to achieve complete remission in patients with lymph node metastasis restricted to perigastric nodes" 06/01/2006 - "RESULTS: Radio-guided surgery (RGS) leads to complete clearance of persistent lymph node metastases by limited recurrent neck surgery, resection of metastases not seen by conventional imaging and control of complete mediastinal lymph node dissection" 03/01/1995 - "Extensive lymph node dissection significantly elongated disease free interval and survival time of cases with recurrence and lymph node metastasis, but there was no significant improvement in cases with other mode of recurrence" Order ALL the reference details at left...

Carcinoma (Carcinomatosis) 01/01/2006 - "The present study aimed to clarify the efficacy of extensive surgery, including pancreas head resection, for more complete lymphadenectomy in the treatment of gallbladder carcinoma" 12/01/1991 - "Recent studies suggest an improved survival in patients who undergo radical lymph node dissection for the curative treatment of gastric carcinoma" 07/01/2002 - "CONCLUSIONS: Hepatopancreatoduodenectomy with wide lymph node dissection is an effective treatment for the selected patients with locally advanced gallbladder carcinoma with until pN2 disease, if curative resection is potentially feasible" 12/01/2000 - "The results of this study indicate that a significant number of patients can be cured of esophageal carcinoma by extensive resection along with extended lymph node dissection even when the disease metastasizes to distant nodes." 09/01/2008 - "However, survival in patients with intermediate high-risk carcinomas who underwent lymphadenectomy (LNE) was not significantly improved as compared to those who did not" Order ALL the reference details at left...
