Abstract：

Objective To discuss the characteristics of renal cell carcinoma with regional lymph node metastasis at diagnosis. Methods The data of 19 patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma with regional lymph node metastases at diagnosis from January 2004 to December 2008 were reviewed.The median age was 57 years (29-77).The study group included 15 males and four females.The primary tumor was located in the left kidney in 12 patients and fight in seven patients.The median maximam diameter of retroperitoneal lymph nodes was 2.8 cm(1.5-5.0).The lymph nodes in four patients were not detected by the preoperative image examination,but were confirmed by intraoperative exploration.Eleven cases had enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes resected and eight had regional lymph nodes dissected. Results The patients with regional lymph node metastases at diagnosis of renal celI carcinoma accounted for 1.6% (19/1213) of the total renal cell carcinoma cases.With a median follow-up of 34 months,six patients were survival without progression,and seven were survival with progression.giving a 5-year survival rate of 68.4%.The survival and recurrence rates after surgery were not significantly different by Fisher test(P=0.644 and 0.319 respectively) between the patients who underwent retroperitoneal regional lymph node dissection and those who underwent enlarged lymph node resection. Condmiom Renal cell carcinoma with regional lymph node metastasis at diagnosis is uncommon.Some patients may achieve long-term tumor-free survival through regional lymph node dissection or enlarged Iymph nodes resection.     

Angiomyolipoma of the kidney with regional lymph node involvement

A 44-year-old male was admitted with complaints of gross hematuria and high fever. An excretory urogram and renal angiography revealed a massive lesion in the right kidney. A computed tomographic scan showed bilateral renal tumors with low-density areas. Transperitoneal right radical nephrectomy, regional lymph node dissection and left renal biopsy were performed on September 5, 1984. The tumor was 14.5 X 7 X 6 cm in size and yellowish in cross section. The pathological diagnosis was bilateral angiomyolipomas and the same in the right hilar lymph node and the surrounding tissue. There was no evidence of malignancy.     

A protocol for performing extended lymph node dissection using primary tumor pathological features for patients treated with radical nephrectomy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma

PURPOSE: We determined the primary pathological features of clear cell renal cell carcinoma that are predictive of positive regional lymph nodes at radical nephrectomy (RN) and developed a protocol for the selective use of extended lymph node dissection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied 1,652 patients who underwent RN for unilateral pM0 sporadic clear cell renal cell carcinoma between 1970 and 2000. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine the pathological features of the primary tumor that were associated with positive regional lymph nodes at RN. RESULTS: There were 887 (54%) patients with no positive nodes (pN0), 57 (3%) with 1 positive node (pN1), 11 (1%) with 2 or more positive nodes (pN2) and 697 (42%) who did not have any lymph nodes dissected (pNx). Nuclear grade 3 or 4 (p <0.001), presence of a sarcomatoid component (p <0.001), tumor size 10 cm or greater (p = 0.005), tumor stage pT3 or pT4 (p = 0.017) and histological tumor necrosis (p = 0.051) were significantly associated with positive regional lymph nodes in a multivariate setting. These features can be used to identify candidates for extended lymph node dissection at the time of RN. For example, only 6 (0.6%) of the 1,031 patients with 0 or 1 of these features had positive lymph nodes at RN compared with 62 (10%) of the 621 patients with at least 2 of these features. CONCLUSIONS: The primary tumor pathological features of nuclear grade, sarcomatoid component, tumor size, stage and presence of tumor necrosis can be used to predict patients at the greatest risk for regional lymph node involvement at RN.

Adrenal metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma with unusual sites of lymph node metastasis and concomitant renal cell carcinoma: a case report

A 58-year-old male presented to a clinic with general weakness. Right adrenal tumor was found by computed tomography and he was referred to our hospital. Imaging studies revealed right adrenal tumor (8 cm) with marked swelling of surrounding lymph nodes and synchronous left renal tumor (2 cm) that was weakly enhanced by contrast media. Needle biopsy of the left kidney proved to be clear cell type renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the preoperative diagnosis was left RCC and right primary adrenal cancer with lymph node metastasis. We performed right adrenalectomy, lymph node dissection and left radical nephrectomy. Pathological findings of right adrenal tumor and lymph nodes were both metastatic adenocarcinoma, which was not consistent with RCC or adrenal-derived carcinoma. Then, we extensively reviewed preoperative radiological examinations and found a small lesion in the left upper lung. This lesion was attached to the mediastinal shadow and there was no obvious lymph node swelling around this lesion. According to pathological findings and an elevation of carcinoembryogenic antigen, the adrenal lesion was diagnosed as adrenal metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma.     

Angiomyolipoma with regional lymph node involvement: a case report and literature review

A 28-year-old man without tuberous sclerosis, who complained of pollakisuria, consulted to our hospital for a left renal mass. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a solid mass without a lipid component, 10 cm in diameter, in the left kidney and with regional lymphadenopathy. Renal arteriography showed a hypervascular mass, demonstrating multiple tumor stains and aneurysms. Left radical nephrectomy and perihilar lymph node dissection were performed for an anticipated diagnosis of malignant tumor in November 2001. The histopathological diagnosis was an angiomyolipoma with lymph node involvement. Immunostaining for myogen markers was positive in the renal mass and lymph node tumors. He was free from disease ten months after surgery.     

Radical nephrectomy with and without lymph node dissection: preliminary results of the EORTC randomized phase III protocol 30881. EORTC Genitourinary Group

OBJECTIVE: The authors present demographic and surgical data from a randomized phase III trial, instituted by the EORTC Genitourinary Group in 1988, the aim of which was to assess whether complete lymph node dissection in conjunction with radical nephrectomy for renal cell cancer is more effective than radical nephrectomy alone. METHODS: Before surgery, the renal cell carcinoma was staged and judged to be nonmetastatic and resectable. The patients were randomized prior to surgery into those having radical nephrectomy combined with complete lymph node dissection or into those having radical nephrectomy alone. Postoperatively all patients were followed until progression of disease or death. RESULTS: Of the 772 randomized patients, 41 were not eligible. 383 had a complete lymph node dissection together with a radical nephrectomy. 389 had a radical nephrectomy alone. The complication rate did not differ significantly between the two groups. A complete lymph node dissection in 336 patients revealed absence of lymph node metastases in 325 of them. CONCLUSIONS: The present study shows that complete lymph node dissection does not add morbidity to the radical nephrectomy. After proper preoperative staging, the incidence of unsuspected lymph node metastases is low (3.3%).     

Clinical significance of lymph node dissection in renal cell carcinoma

OBJECTIVE: To identify the role of lymph node dissection in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 100 patients (66 males, 34 females) were enrolled in the study. The mean age and tumor size were 61.4 years and 5.8 cm, respectively. A total of 41 patients (41%) had tumors <4 cm in diameter. The pathological status was pT1, pT2 and pT3 in 60, 11 and 29 patients, respectively. RESULTS: In total, lymph node metastases were found in seven cases (7%). Of 40 patients with pT1a tumors (tumor size <4 cm), one (2.5%) had lymph node metastasis. Patients with lymph node metastases had significantly larger tumors than those without (8.9 vs 5.5 cm; p<0.05). Regarding patient outcome, 33 (33%) had tumor progression (alive with disease, n=14; disease-specific death, n=19) after a median follow-up period of 54.0 months. In univariate analysis, 15/18 prognostic markers [tumor size, tumor grade, pT, pN and M categories, stage, microscopic venous invasion (V category), microscopic lymphatic invasion (Ly category), pathological tumor infiltration pattern (INF category), plasma fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, immunosuppressive acidic protein, alpha-2 globulin and erythrocyte sedimentation rates at 1 and 2 h] were common significant predictors of tumor progression. A Cox hazard model revealed tumor size, tumor grade and pathological stage to be independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: Tumor size is a crucial prognostic factor for tumor progression, and lymph node dissection may be omitted in T1a tumors.

Renal cell carcinoma with retroperitoneal lymph nodes: role of lymph node dissection

PURPOSE: We better defined the benefits and morbidity of lymph node dissection in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma using the experience of patients treated at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed with outcome assessment based on the chart review of demographic, clinical and pathological data in 1,087 patients with renal cell carcinoma treated at our institution. Patients with renal cell carcinoma who did not undergo nephrectomy as part of cancer treatment, those with bilateral disease and those for whom nodal status was unknown were not included in this study. A total of 900 patients meeting these criteria who underwent nephrectomy for unilateral renal cell carcinoma at our medical center form the principal study population. RESULTS: Positive lymph nodes were associated with larger, higher grade, locally advanced primary tumors that were more commonly associated with sarcomatoid features. Positive nodes were 3 to 4 times more common in patients with metastatic disease and the majority of these patients could be identified preoperatively. The survival of patients with regional lymph node involvement only was identical to that of patients with distant metastatic disease only. Patients with regional nodes and distant metastases had significantly inferior survival to those with either condition alone. In node negative cases lymph node dissection can be performed with no additional morbidity but it confers no survival advantage. In node positive cases lymph node dissection can also be performed safely but it is associated with improved survival and a trend toward an improved response to immunotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Regional lymph node dissection is unnecessary in patients with clinically negative lymph nodes since it offers extremely limited staging information and no benefit in terms of decreasing disease recurrence or improving survival. In patients with positive lymph nodes lymph node dissection is associated with improved survival when it is performed in carefully selected patients undergoing cytoreductive nephrectomy and postoperative immunotherapy. When lymph nodes are present, they should be resected when technically feasible.     

Hilar lymph node metastasis in renal cell carcinoma.

A 48-year-old man, who underwent a right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma 7 years earlier, was found to have hilar lymph node metastasis alone, without lesions, in the pulmonary parenchyma. Chest X-ray and CT findings showed a left hilar mass about 4 x 2.5 cm in diameter. Left bronchial arteriography showed a hypervascular mass lesion in the left hilum. Macroscopic tumor invasion of the pulmonary artery and left main bronchus indicated left pneumonectomy. The resected specimen was found histologically to involve metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the left hilar lymph node about 3 cm in diameter. Tumor metastasis was limited to the lymph node. The metastatic pathway of renal cell carcinoma to the hilar lymph node was considered lymphogenous via either retrograde lymphatic flow from the thoracic duct or through the lymphatics in the inferior pulmonary ligament.     

Long-term survival in 2,505 patients with melanoma with regional lymph node metastasis

OBJECTIVE: To examine the long-term outcomes of patients with melanoma metastatic to regional lymph nodes. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Regional lymph node metastasis is a major determinant of outcome for patients with melanoma, and the presence of regional lymph node metastasis has been commonly used as an indication for systemic, often intensive, adjuvant therapy. However, the risk of recurrence varies greatly within this heterogeneous group of patients. METHODS: Database review identified 2,505 patients, referred to the Duke University Melanoma Clinic between 1970 and 1998, with histologic confirmation of regional lymph node metastasis before clinical evidence of distant metastasis and with documentation of full lymph node dissection. Recurrence and survival after lymph node dissection were analyzed. RESULTS: Estimated overall survival rates at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years were 43%, 35%, 28%, and 23%, respectively. This population included 792 actual 5-year survivors, 350 10-year survivors, and 137 15-year survivors. The number of positive lymph nodes was the most powerful predictor of both overall survival and recurrence-free survival; 5-year overall survival rates ranged from 53% for one positive node to 25% for greater than four nodes. Primary tumor ulceration and thickness were also powerful predictors of both overall and recurrence-free survival in multivariate analyses. The most common site of first recurrence after lymph node dissection was distant (44% of all patients). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with regional lymph node metastasis can enjoy significant long-term survival after lymph node dissection. Therefore, aggressive surgical therapy of regional lymph node metastases is warranted, and each individual's risk of recurrence should be weighed against the potential risks of adjuvant therapy.     

微小乳头状癌淋巴结转移及预防性淋巴结清扫的价值

目的探讨微小乳头状癌颈侧区淋巴结转移的危险因素及预防性清扫的价值。方法选取2010年2月至2016年2月收治的172例甲状腺微小乳头状癌患者进行回顾性分析,根据颈淋巴结分区有92例淋巴结转移阴性患者,其中50例采取了预防性单侧或双侧淋巴结清扫(预防组),42例未行预防性淋巴结清扫(未预防组),比较两组预后。应用SPSS 19.0进行分析,住院时间等计量资料用均数±标准差(x珋±s)表示,比较采用独立样本t检验;性别、年龄、肿瘤大小、包膜浸润、侧别、肿瘤位置、肿瘤数目、中央区转移、并发症发生率、肿瘤局部复发或远处转移率、病死率等计数资料计算构成比(%),采用χ2检验;危险因素的预测采用多因素Logical回归,P0.05为差异有统计学意义。结果颈侧区淋巴结转移阳性患者中年龄≤45岁、肿瘤0.5~1.0 cm、包膜浸润、肿瘤位于甲状腺上极、中央区转移者占67.5%、72.5%、45.0%、87.5%、67.5%,均高于阴性患者(P0.05)。中央区转移、肿瘤位于甲状腺上极为颈侧区淋巴结转移的危险因素。预防组患者随访期间未见肿瘤局部复发、远处转移与死亡情况,未预防组病死率2.4%(P0.05),肿瘤局部复发或远处转移率为9.5%(P0.05)。结论肿瘤位于甲状腺上极、存在中央区转移的微小乳头状癌患者更易出现颈侧区淋巴结转移。颈侧区淋巴结转移阴性患者行预防性淋巴结清扫术可有效改善远期预后,且术后并发症未明显增加。     

早期远端胃印戒细胞癌淋巴结转移的危险因素分析及外科手术指征探讨

目的研究早期远端胃印戒细胞癌淋巴结转移的危险因素,进一步分析其外科手术指征。方法回顾性分析2013年3月至2018年11月期间在苏州大学附属第一医院普外科接受外科根治手术且术后病理学检查证实为远端胃印戒细胞癌的91例早期胃癌患者的临床资料,收集患者的性别、年龄、肿瘤最大径、病灶数量、浸润深度、肿瘤大体外观、脉管癌栓、合并溃疡等数据,探索发生淋巴结转移的危险因素,进一步分析外科手术指征。结果91例早期远端胃印戒细胞癌均接受了外科根治性手术,其中淋巴结转移10例。单因素分析结果显示,肿瘤最大径(χ^2=5.631,P=0.025)、浸润深度(χ^2=4.389,P=0.016)、病灶数量(χ^2=5.615,P=0.023)及脉管癌栓(χ^2=22.500,P=0.001)均与早期远端胃印戒细胞癌的淋巴结转移有关。多因素分析结果显示,肿瘤最大径(OR=3.675,P=0.012)、浸润深度(OR=3.886,P=0.015)及脉管癌栓(OR=8.711,P<0.001)是早期远端胃印戒细胞癌发生淋巴结转移的影响因素,肿瘤最大径≥2 cm、浸润至黏膜下层及有脉管癌栓的患者有更高的淋巴结转移率。结论肿瘤最大径≥2 cm、浸润至黏膜下层及存在脉管癌栓的早期远端胃印戒细胞癌患者有更高的淋巴结转移风险;满足肿瘤最大径≥2 cm和存在脉管癌栓中任何1项条件者均可能需接受外科根治性手术。     

Extranodal extension in regional lymph nodes is associated with outcome in patients with renal cell carcinoma

PURPOSE: The 2002 American Joint Committee on Cancer pN classification for renal cell carcinoma is based on the number of positive regional lymph nodes. We examined the associations of pathological features of lymph node metastases with patient outcome to improve the prognostic accuracy of the current classification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied the records of 2,076 patients treated with radical nephrectomy for unilateral, sporadic pM0 renal cell carcinoma between 1970 and 2000. There were 34 patients with metastasis in a single regional lymph node (pN1) and 35 with metastases in more than 1 lymph node (pN2). Pathological features of lymph node metastases, including the number and percent of positive lymph nodes, total number of lymph nodes removed, grade, necrosis, extranodal extension, and largest dimension and surface area of metastases were determined by 2 urological pathologists (HHD and JCC). RESULTS: There was no statistically significant association between the pN classification and death from renal cell carcinoma (pN2 vs pN1 RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.62 to 1.79, p = 0.846). However, patients with extranodal extension were twice as likely to die of renal cell carcinoma than patients in whom metastases did not extend outside of the lymph node capsule (RR 2.02, 95% CI 1.18 to 3.45, p = 0.010). The 5-year cancer specific survival rate was 18% and 35% in patients with and without extranodal extension, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that a pN classification based on the presence or absence of lymph node metastases with a notation regarding the presence or absence of extranodal extension represents a significant improvement in the prognostic accuracy of the current pN classification.     

区域淋巴结清扫对肝内胆管癌根治术后复发模式的影响

目的目前肝内胆管癌（ICC）是否常规进行区域淋巴结清扫（LND）仍存争议。本研究旨在探究LND对ICC根治术后复发模式的影响。 方法回顾性研究中山大学附属第一医院2010年1月至2021年5月165例ICC并行LND的患者，收集患者的一般资料、血液学检查指标、术前影像学检查资料（CT、MRI或PET-CT）和手术记录，分析术前影像学诊断淋巴结转移的价值以及LND对ICC术后不同复发模式的影响。 结果术前影像学诊断ICC淋巴结转移的敏感度为61.0%，特异度为58.9%，准确性为59.4%。124例cN0并行LND患者中，清扫个数≥6组阳性淋巴结比例占60.8%（31/51），显著高于清扫个数<6组的27.4%（20/73），差异有统计学意义（χ²=13.82，P<0.001）；随访期间，中位无复发生存时间为9.3个月（1~49.5个月），清扫个数≥6组和清扫个数<6组分别复发26、40例，清扫个数≥6组患者的局部淋巴结复发率更低，两组复发模式差异有统计学意义（P=0.037）。 结论术前影像学诊断ICC淋巴结转移价值有限，应常规进行区域LND，清扫数量6个以上有助于改善淋巴结分期和减少cN0患者根治术后局部淋巴结复发。     

胸段食管鳞癌淋巴结转移规律探究

目的探讨胸段食管鳞癌淋巴结转移规律及其影响因素,以指导淋巴结清扫方式。方法回顾分析漳州市医院2010年4月至2012年7月手术治疗的328例胸段食管鳞癌的临床病理资料,探讨淋巴结转移规律及其影响因素。结果全组328例共清扫淋巴结9937枚,平均30．3枚／例。共437枚、153例有淋巴结转移,转移率46．65％;其中喉返神经旁淋巴结转移18．30％,10．46％喉返神经旁淋巴结为唯一转移部位。胸段食管癌淋巴结转移与肿瘤部位、长度、分化程度及浸润深度明显相关。胸上段食管癌淋巴结转移方向主要向上纵隔及下颈部;胸中段食管癌颈、胸、腹均可发生淋巴结转移;胸下段食管癌主要向腹腔、中下纵隔转移。结论食管上段鳞癌,颈部淋巴结转移率高,应行三野淋巴结清扫;下段食管癌清扫重点在腹腔、中下纵隔;中段鳞癌应提倡进行个体化清扫和适度清扫;分化程度差,浸润程度深的病例应适当扩大清扫范围。胸段食管癌喉返神经旁淋巴结转移率高,均应行喉返神经旁淋巴结清扫。

目的 探讨中下段直肠癌的淋巴转移规律和淋巴清扫范围。方法 对1990－1999年行传统直肠癌根治术的373例和行传统直肠癌根治术加盆腔侧方淋巴清扫术（简称侧方清扫术）的89例中下段直肠癌患者进行回顾性分析。结果 全组淋巴转移率为41．8％,患者年龄、癌灶浸润深度、大体分型、癌灶大小是影响淋巴转移率的重要因素（P＜0．05）。89例侧方清扫术的盆腔侧方淋巴转移率为15．7％,其中85．7％位于癌灶同侧。有盆腔侧方淋巴结转移者均为浸润深度T3、T4者;癌灶＞3cm、溃疡型或浸润型、年龄＜60岁者盆腔侧方淋巴结转移较高。侧方清扫术组的盆腔复发率为5．6％,明显低于传统直肠癌根治术组的17．7％（P＜0．05）;侧方清扫术组和传统直肠癌根治术组的5年生存率分别为46．7％和47．9％（P＞0．05）。结论 应提高对中下段直肠癌淋巴转移规律的认识,对怀疑或证实有淋巴结转移、癌灶侵犯浆膜或穿透肠壁、癌灶＞3cm、溃疡型或浸润型、年龄＜60岁者建议行侧方清扫术。     

Results of radical nephrectomy associated with regional lymphadenectomy for renal cell carcinoma]

Between January, 1975 and December, 1989, 86 patients with renal cell carcinoma received radical nephrectomy associated with lymphadenectomy at our institutions. Pathological examination revealed lymph node metastasis in 15 patients (17.4%). The incidence of lymph node metastasis increased in accordance with the aggravation of tumor stage (p less than 0.01) and grade (p less than 0.05). Patients with a rapidly growing tumor showed higher incidence of lymph node metastasis than patients with a slow growing tumor (p less than 0.01). Regional lymph node metastases were found in 3 of the 41 patients with a slow growing tumor. Since these 3 patients are surviving with no evidence of disease for 38.7 months on average, the regional lymphadenectomy was considered to have been effective for their survival. Nine of the 25 patients with a rapid growing tumor had progressive lymph node metastasis. Four of them had apparent tumor thrombi as well as lymph node metastasis, and 2 of them had distant metastasis. These patients showed poor prognosis even after operation. Lymphadenectomy was of no value to the patients with apparent tumor thrombi and/or distant metastasis.
