Lymph Node Metastasis

Among patients with T1 colorectal cancer, deep submucosal invasion was not a significant independent predictor for lymph node metastasis and should not be considered the sole indicator for oncologic surgery.

Ultrasonography was better than clinical examination alone for detecting regional lymph node metastasis in high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, according to a study.

Lymph node status is a predictor of survival in patients with vulvar melanoma and vaginal melanoma, according to a study published in American Journal of Clinical Dermatology.

Children with differentiated thyroid cancer may be more likely to develop lymph node metastasis when microscopic extrathyroidal extension, or microETE, is present, according to findings published in Thyroid.
