Detection of lymph node involvement in women with IB2–IIB cervical cancer could have a positive effect on survival. We set out to evaluate the incidence of pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph node ...

Para-aortic nodes were measured as more than 2 cm in the short axis. The planned treatment was chemoradiation therapy to the pelvis and para-aortic nodes to a total dose of 45 Gy at 1.8 Gy/fraction ...

The use of extended-field intensity modulated radiation therapy to treat para-aortic lymph nodes resulted in a low duodenal toxicity profile and no high-grade late duodenal toxicity in women with ...

A new study shows that, if that cancer has spread only to the para-aortic lymph nodes, aggressive treatment in the form of extended-field radiation therapy could potentially improve their long ...

This prevents biasing the para-aortic group by including women wrongly coded when surgeons documented para-aortic lymphadenectomy but actually performed common iliac or low para-aortic sampling. Women ...

This 30-patient study assessed robot-assisted SBRT of isolated para-aortic lymph node metastases from uterine corpus (n = 2) and cervical (n = 28) cancer. Nonuniform SBRT dosing ranging between 33 ...

Of these, 704 were randomly assigned to standard surgery (hysterectomy and BSO, peritoneal washing, and palpation of para-aortic nodes**; ...

Isolated positive para-aortic nodes in the absence of metastatic pelvic nodes is less common but is reported in a significant minority of women. In various studies the incidence of isolated pelvic ...

Two recent studies find advances in radiation therapy are helping to prolong or improve the lives of people with anal cancer, including those whose cancer has advanced to stage IV.

As Cannistra pointed out in his review of the management of ovarian cancer in the same issue, “biopsy of the para-aortic nodes is especially important in patients with disease that otherwise ...

(HealthDay)—For patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have undergone intra-abdominal macroscopically complete resection and have clinically negative lymph nodes, lymphadenectomy is not ...
