Background: Bilateral lymph node dissection is not a standard surgical treatment for non-small cell lung carcinoma. However, data from anatomical studies showing lymph flow to the contralateral mediastinal lymph nodes have prompted attempts to extend lymph node dissection to the contralateral mediastinum. Little is known about the functional effects of extended lymphadenectomy.

These data are important to radiologists, pathologists, and thoracic surgeons because they can serve as a benchmark when assessing the completeness of lymph node dissection. However, relevant data in the literature are scarce.

- A phase 3 trial found that neoadjuvant treatment with nivolumab plus chemotherapy improved event-free survival in patients with resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to chemotherapy alone, with 70.2% of the nivolumab group remaining event-free at 18 months, versus 50.0% in the chemotherapy group.!* -
- Patients receiving nivolumab also had a significantly higher rate of pathological complete response (25.3%) compared to those on chemotherapy (4.7%), indicating better treatment efficacy.!* -
- The safety profile was similar between both groups, with 32.5% of nivolumab patients experiencing grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events
Introduction: Our previous studies identified a paradoxical implicit motor learning curve in schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) patients. This study aimed to verify whether those previously observed deficits may be captured by a new version of the ambidextrous serial reaction time task (SRTT), prepared for use in the MRI.
Methods: This study involved 186 participants.
Background: Primary melanoma of the esophagus (PME) represents a rare type of gastrointestinal malignancy with an exceptionally poor diagnosis. So far, only few descriptions of PME which satisfactorily summarize their clinical characteristics and prognosis have been published.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to summarize our experience with PME patients.
