"Women who had a very optimistic prognosis, based on their cancer stage and node involvement, were often the ones who worried the most," she tells WebMD.

When controlled for age, node involvement, and tumor size, screen-detected cancers had a lower risk of relapse and better overall survival.

Routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and immunoperoxidase staining will be adequate to rule out node involvement.

Those with a more invasive tumor, yet without node involvement (T3-4, N0, M0) have an average 5-year survival of approximately 70%.

The lymphoma was localised within the gastric wall with no evidence of regional lymph node involvement (stage I) in eight patients.

Paramalignant effusions may result from chemotherapy, radiation therapy, atelectasis, and/or lymph node involvement.

One retrospective surgical series of 931 previously untreated patients with differentiated thyroid cancer found that female gender, multifocality, and regional node involvement are favorable prognostic factors.

An enlarged thymus or mediastinal node involvement can mimic lymphoma or an infectious process and may cause asthma-like symptoms.
