An updated meta-analysis suggests lymph node dissection in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma may improve survival when it is truly adequate, especially when at least six nodes are retrieved and confounding is reduced.

Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Histologic Subtyping Redefines the Value of Lymph Node Dissection in Early Lung Adenocarcinoma

By MedXY 03/21/2026

A large-scale multicenter study reveals that guideline-adherent lymph node dissection provides a survival benefit only for patients with high-grade lung adenocarcinoma, suggesting that surgical extent should be tailored to histologic subtyping even in early-stage T1N0M0 disease.

Histologic Subtype Dictates the Survival Benefit of Guideline-Adherent Lymph Node Dissection in T1N0M0 Lung Adenocarcinoma

By MedXY 01/27/2026

A large-scale multicenter study reveals that adherence to lymph node dissection guidelines significantly improves survival in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma patients with high-grade histologic patterns, while offering no significant benefit for those with low-risk lepidic-predominant tumors.
