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 - "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. " 04/01/2014 - "After salvage chemotherapies, levels of the tumor marker hCG decreased to normal levels, and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and left lung wedge resection were performed to confirm pathological complete remission. " 01/01/2012 - "Three-field lymphadenectomy, including neck dissection, is a standard type of lymph node dissection for complete clearance of tumor cells. "
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 - "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. " 03/01/2012 - "Apart from the resection of synchronous metastases at the time of radical prostatectomy the oncological efficacy of a salvage lymphadenectomy or a salvage resection of visceral or osseous metastases remains to be proven. " 03/01/2010 - "Knowledge of the pattern and incidence of lymph node metastasis may help to define the optimal extent of lymph node dissection. "
3.	Stomach Neoplasms (Stomach Cancer) 03/01/2011 - "Surgery is the only curative strategy for gastric cancer management and radical resection with free margins and extended lymphadenectomy seems to be the best option. " 01/01/2007 - "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 - "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. "
4.	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. " 07/01/2002 - "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." 08/01/2015 - "We conclude that pure laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy with lymph node dissection is safe and beneficial for the patients with T1b/T2 gallbladder carcinoma." 05/01/2015 - "Radical cystectomy (RC) with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection constitutes the gold standard treatment for muscle-invasive and high-risk non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder refractory to instillation therapy. "
5.	Melanoma (Melanoma, Malignant) 09/01/1983 - "One of the most controversial areas in the management of malignant melanoma concerns the efficacy of prophylactic lymph node dissection. " 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." 11/01/2012 - "Blood specimens were collected from patients with melanoma (n = 331) who were clinically disease-free after complete lymphadenectomy (CLND) before entering onto a randomized adjuvant melanoma vaccine plus bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) versus BCG placebo trial from 30 melanoma centers (United States and international). " 03/01/2013 - "Refinement of surgical techniques, including evaluation of optimal surgical margins, utility of elective lymph node dissection, and incorporation of sentinel lymph node mapping as both a prognostic tool and guide for selective lymphadenectomy have lessened surgical morbidity and improved outcomes for early-stage and locally advanced melanoma. " 07/01/1999 - "Efficacy of lymphatic mapping, sentinel lymphadenectomy, and selective complete lymph node dissection as a therapeutic procedure for early-stage melanoma."
