โฆ Synopsis
Data relative to the prognostic and therapeutic significance of lymph node metastases in regionally confined neuroblastsoma (Evans stages 11-111) are scant. We have analyzed lymph node status in order to assess the significance of nodal involvement. Disease-free survival (minimum follow-up of 2 years) was 84% (21/25) among node-positive patients compared with 95% (18/19) for node-negative

Background and Objectives: Lymph node involvement adversely affects the survival of patients with esophageal cancer. We retrospectively investigated whether the number of involved lymph nodes and the degree of lymph node dissection affect survival. Patients and Methods: Eighty-eight patients underwe
