Introduction: Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is indicated for testicular cancer patients with residual masses post-chemotherapy or stage I-II non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) ...

Breakthrough research presented at the 2026 Society of Thoracic Surgeons Annual Meeting shows that additional lymph node evaluation is needed during surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to ...

This study aimed to explore the construction and application of a nomogram model for early-stage cervical central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) combined with Hashimoto ...

Oncologic and complication rates generally favored the minimally invasive approach to inguinal lymph node dissection in penile cancer surgery. Minimally invasive approaches to inguinal lymph node ...

Penile cancer, though rare, has a high mortality rate due to delayed diagnosis and lymph node metastasis. ILND is indicated for intermediate- or high-risk penile cancer, with specific criteria guiding ...

In men with node-only recurrent prostate cancer after primary treatment, salvage lymph node dissection (sLND) is among the potential treatment options. 1,2 After the initial enthusiasm surrounding ...

Less invasive procedures like TAD, SLNB, and TLNB show noninferiority to ALND in axillary recurrence-free survival for breast cancer patients post-NACT. The study's 3-year data indicate comparable ...

Extended dissection did not improve recurrence-free or overall survival, but it may have a bladder cancer-specific survival benefit possibly because it removes micrometastases. Extended lymph node ...

Add a description, image, and links to the central-node-algorithm topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Response-guided axillary treatment using an approach known as the MARI protocol can safely spare many women with node-positive breast cancer from axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) after ...
