Does breast cancer sagittal/horizontal plane location influence axillary lymph node involvement?
This study shows that ALNI is dependent on sagittal/horizontal as well as frontal tumour location. Clinicians should be aware that tumours lying posteriorly may be at increased risk of occult spread outside axillary lymph nodes.
Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection can be safely performed for metastatic transitional cell carcinoma. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection has curative potential, particularly in patients with viable tumor in no more than 2 lymph nodes after chemotherapy.
