Background: This study aims to introduce an optimized method named "non-grasping en bloc mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND)" through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Methods: Between ...

In a trial, selected patients with early non-small cell lung cancer did not benefit from mediastinal lymph node dissection (LND). Mediastinal LND resulted in longer surgeries, increased bleeding, and ...

Single-Agent Rituximab as First-Line and Maintenance Treatment for Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma: A Phase II Trial of the Minnie Pearl Cancer Research ...

Nivolumab and Ipilimumab for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer With an Immunogenic Signature: The Multicenter, Two-Cohort, Phase II NEPTUNES Study We conducted a multicenter, open-label, ...

Mediastinal staging of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is of paramount importance. It distinguishes operable from inoperable disease, guides prognosis and allows accurate comparison of outcomes in ...

Theoretically, the introduction of gas as a contrast material into the various soft-tissue planes of the mediastinum, pneumomediastinography, should be the ideal radiologic technic for outlining ...

Evaluation of the hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes is part of the surgical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is also vital to the staging of lung cancer, which determines the need ...

Dr. Margo A. Peyton (Medicine): A 43-year-old man was evaluated in the multidisciplinary Pulmonary Nodule Clinic of this hospital because of an incidentally found pulmonary nodule. One month before ...

Although MLND as associated with improved survival of early-stage NSCLC remains controversial, we still advocate the method in our practice. We think that with complete removal of all resectable LNs, ...

Systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection (LND) or sampling is currently recommended for patients with early-stage non–small cell lung cancer. We aimed to investigate whether no mediastinal LND was ...
