1.	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.

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." 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. " 12/03/2008 - "Pelvic systematic lymphadenectomy improved surgical staging as statistically significantly more patients with lymph node metastases were found in the lymphadenectomy arm than in the no-lymphadenectomy arm (13.3% vs 3.2%, difference = 10.1%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.3% to 14.9%, P < .001). " 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.

3.	Stomach Neoplasms (Stomach Cancer) 01/01/2007 - "BACKGROUND: The best results in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer are those obtained by the Japanese surgical school that emphasizes D2 lymphadenectomy as a fundamental principle for obtaining better local control of the disease. " 01/01/2002 - "The most effective treatment for gastric cancer is complete surgical resection with lymphadenectomy. " 10/01/1992 - "These findings suggest that in Britain in the 1990s, as in Japan, it may be possible to diagnose an increasing proportion of patients with gastric cancer at a relatively early pathological stage, when most patients can be cured by radical surgical resection with lymphadenectomy." 11/01/2007 - "OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to determine whether laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with complete D2 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer is a safe and effective surgical option. " 08/01/2009 - "The only treatment modality showing improved survival for gastric cancer is curative surgical resection, which comprises the resection of stomach, proper lymphadenectomy, and reconstruction.

" 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.

" 05/01/1981 - "Regional lymphadenectomy offers no improvement in survival in patients with low-risk and moderate-risk melanoma and can play only a minor role at most in improving survival for patients with high-risk melanoma." 07/01/1999 - "Efficacy of lymphatic mapping, sentinel lymphadenectomy, and selective complete lymph node dissection as a therapeutic procedure for early-stage melanoma." 10/01/2007 - "Pelvic lymph node dissection is beneficial in subsets of patients with node-positive melanoma." 08/01/1997 - "It remains uncertain whether elective lymphadenectomy can be therapeutically beneficial in the management of melanoma.
