🧪 A study from @MirandaKusters and colleagues sought to determine the prognostic value of lateral #lymphnode size and malignant features - such as internal heterogeneity, irregular margins, and more - in patients with advanced #rectalcancer: https://t.co/c8lmsxxsSl

[JAMA Oncology @JAMAOnc]

A 50% reduction in radiotherapy use for non-locally advanced rectal cancer did not compromise cancer-related outcomes at a national level. Optimizing clinical staging and surgery has enabled safe de-intensification of treatment. https://t.co/48ykLwrGRF

First patient recruited to the @LanorecStudy.
Nice work @drtfitz_littleT!

On 21-11 Tania Sluckin obtained her doctoral degree by defending her thesis entitled "lateral lymph nodes in rectal cancer". This thesis stresses the importance of adequate treatment of lateral lymph nodes and the LaNoReC trial. Want to receive a PDF? Mail [email protected]

Lateral lymph nodes during the @ESSOnews 142 conference! On Thursday 26th of October the prognostic implications of the number of lateral lymph nodes and their malignant features were discussed.

Contact @tarik_sammour or @drtfitz_littleT for the local info.

[LaNoReC Study @LanorecStudy]

Publication alert: node picking or partial LLND do not decrease lateral recurrence risk in rectal cancer patients with enlarged nodes. In the LaNoReC these patients undergo a complete LLND aiming to lower the risk to <6% https://t.co/kE3liWERl7 #SoMe4Surgery #rectalcancerresearch

[LaNoReC Study @LanorecStudy]

The renewed Dutch delineation guideline has been approved by the Dutch GI radiotherapy association (LPRGE)! This guideline will guarantee uniform delineation and coverage of lateral lymph nodes in the LaNoReC study. Want to join the next online training? [email protected]

[LaNoReC Study @LanorecStudy]

Adequate coverage of lateral lymph nodes by routine radiotherapy is associated with considerable lateral local recurrence risk. Published in #RedJournal #laterallymphnodes #colorectalresearch #radiotherapy @TaniaSluckin @SanneHazen @MirandaKusters

[LaNoReC Study @LanorecStudy]

Update @LaNoReCstudy: the study has become a registration study, not subject to ethical restrictions, open for ALL patients with enlarged (≥7.0mm) or intermediate (5.0-6.9mm) lateral nodes with ANY neoadjuvant treatment, with a new protocol. Keen to join? [email protected]

@rogier_crolla @JohnRTMonsonMD @ColonCancerDoc @TAMISYoda @DrGarciaAguilar @R_Perez_MD @SocSurgOnc @AmColSurgCancer @ParisTekkis Totally different: gyne and uro remove external and/or obturator nodes, but the internal iliac ones are the most relevant for rectal cancer..
