Prediction of Non-sentinel Node Status in Patients with Melanoma and Positive Sentinel Node Biopsy: An Italian Melanoma Intergroup (IMI) Study
2018
Background and Purpose: Approximately 20% of melanoma patients harbor metastases in non-sentinel nodes (NSNs) after a positive sentinel node biopsy (SNB), and recent evidence questions the therapeutic benefit of completion lymph node dissection (CLND). We built a nomogram for prediction of NSN status in melanoma patients with positive SNB. Methods: Data on anthropometric and clinicopathological features of patients with cutaneous melanoma who underwent CLND after a positive SNB were collected from nine Italian centers. Multivariate logistic regression was utilized to identify predictors of NSN status in a training set, while model efficiency was validated in a validation set. Results: Data …
MODIFICAZIONI ECOGRAFICHE DELLA LINFADENOPATIA DELL’ILO EPATICO DOPO ERADICAZIONE DELL’HCV CON DIRECT-ACTING ANTIVIRALS
2019
A) Valutare le modificazioni ecografiche (US) dei linfonodi (LN) dell’ilo epatico in pazienti con epatopatia cronica (EC) correlata al virus dell’epatite C (HCV) e Sustained Virological Responders (SVR) alla terapia con i Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs); B) rilevare i fattori predittivi correlati con la scomparsa di LN. Abbiamo studiato 177 pazienti, trattati con DAAs, arruolati consecutivamente tra il Gennaio 2015 e il Dicembre 2016, con un follow-up dell’SVR di 24 mesi (SVR24) a Dicembre 2018; erano esclusi i pazienti con storia o insorgenza di epatocarcinoma nel follow-up. I LN erano definiti ingranditi (LN+) se il diametro maggiore era >1 cm. Al baseline (BL) registravamo: età, sesso…
L'ESPLORAZIONE DEI LINFONODI REGIONALI NEL NEUROBLASTOMA LOCALIZZATO: Compliance alle Direttive Chirurgiche nello Studio Nazionale NB 85
1993
Accurate staging of patients with Neuroblastoma is essential for prognosis and for determining the most appropriate treatment. The neoplastic involvement of regional lymph-nodes (l.n.) is an important prognostic feature; the surgical exploration of these L.n. is mandatory for localized neuroblastoma (NBL) (stage I and II) in wich surgery represent the main treatment. The Authors have carried out a retrospective analysis of the cases registered in Italy between 1985 and 1989
