Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Researchers from University of Barcelona Report on Findings in Cervical Cancer (Laparoscopic Debulking of Enlarged Pelvic Nodes During Surgical Para-aortic Staging In Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer: a Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study)
2023 FEB 27 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx Women's Health Daily -- A new study on Oncology - Cervical Cancer
Article Description
To evaluate laparoscopic pelvic lymph node debulking during extraperitoneal aortic lymphadenectomy in diagnosis, therapeutic planning, and prognosis of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer and enlarged lymph nodes on imaging before chemoradiotherapy. Retrospective, multicenter, comparative cohort study. The study was carried out at 11 hospitals with specialized gynecologic oncology units in Spain. Total of 381 women with locally advanced cervical cancer and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 stage IIIC 1r (radiologic) and higher who received primary treatment with chemoradiotherapy. Patients underwent pelvic lymph node debulking and para-aortic lymphadenectomy (group 1), only para-aortic lymphadenectomy (group 2), or no lymph node surgical staging (group 3). On the basis of pelvic node histology, group 1 was subdivided as negative (group 1A) or positive (group 1B). False positives and negatives of imaging tests, disease-free survival, overall survival, and postoperative complications were evaluated. In group 1, pelvic lymph node involvement was 43.3% (71 of 164), and aortic involvement was 24.4% (40 of 164). In group 2, aortic nodes were positive in 29.7% (33 of 111). Disease-free survival and overall survival were similar in the 3 groups (p =.95) and in groups 1A and 1B (p =.25). No differences were found between groups 1 and 2 in intraoperative (3.7% vs 2.7%, p =.744), early postoperative (8.0% vs 6.3%, p =.776), or late postoperative complications (6.1% vs 2.7%, p =.252). Fewer early and late complications were attributed to radiotherapy in group 1A than in the others (p =.022). Laparoscopic pelvic lymph node debulking during para-aortic staging surgery in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer with suspicious nodes allows for the confirmation of metastatic lymph nodes without affecting survival or increasing surgical complications. This information improves the selection of patients requiring boost irradiation, thus avoiding overtreatment of patients with negative nodes.
