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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

At present, treatment options for patients with stage IIIa-N2 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are unclear. Whether surgery after induction therapy is of value for unselected patients with stage ...

The pleural effusion that was initially drained recurred after two weeks but subsequently resolved on follow‑up imaging as part of the patient’s response to chemotherapy. Repeat LDH measurement was ...

Usually, swollen chest lymph nodes are too deep in the chest for a person to feel them. Any swollen lymph nodes in the chest appear on imaging scans. Swelling can indicate an underlying condition.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS–TBNA) is performed to investigate mediastinal masses, predominantly in the context of staging of lung cancer. Other conditions ...

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 ...
