The use of ultrasound combined with ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (UGFAB) of supraclavicular lymph nodes in the pretreatment staging of 37 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is described. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest and the

Ultrasound (US) and US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) were performed in 91 nonpalpable neck nodes of 70 patients, 98% of which had known malignancy. Various sonographic findings were evaluated for predicting malignancy. The accuracy of US-guided FNA for detecting malignancy was 88%, with
Background. Neck ultrasonography (US) and ultrasonographically guided fine-needle aspiration (UGFNA) cytologic examination were used in the staging work-up of 51 consecutive patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with clinically impalpable cervical lymphadenopathy. Methods. All patients h
Transsphenoidal hypophysectomy was performed in 13 patients with advanced malignant melanoma. Although three minor responses were observed, there were no complete or partial responses. All three patients with bone pain had a decrease in discomfort lasting 1-2 months. All five patients with minor res
## BACKGROUND. Tumor involvement of regional lymph nodes has a crucial impact on the prognosis of patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). Although additional tumor cell deposits can be detected by sensitive methods (e.g., immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reacti
