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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Final results of a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase II study to assess the efficacy of MAGE-A3 immunotherapeutic as adjuvant therapy in stage IB/II non-small cell lung ...
