nearly 800 people wrote to debrett’s asking whether you can indeed polish off a big mac on the train . the answer is no . debrett’s now says it is not only bad form to eat on the bus , tube , whatever ( agreed ) , but that it is also off to put your make - up on when in a shared carriage , because it “makes you look disorganised” . what nonsense . i think actually it makes you look rather well organised , because you have thought about bringing your make - up ( and a mirror ) with you . obviously adherents must be advised that nail varnish is always a risky business , and apart from that woman i was sitting behind on a hull train the other day who sprayed her hair with dry shampoo , thus masking the entire carriage with noxious fumes , sitting quietly applying mascara is hardly antisocial .
they may have pixellated out your eyes and nose , but not your subway peri peri chicken sub or your sense of injustice . yes , you’ve been shamed on the internet for eating on the bus – but was it acceptable in the first place ? not according to debrett’s . “it’s inconsiderate to eat smelly food in a confined environment , ” it says . what about applying makeup on the tube ? “it can jeopardise that all - important first impression . ” unless , of course , the all - important first impression you want to create is “bitter clown” .
in a recent university experiment only 20 per cent of london tube passengers offered to give up their seat to a visibly pregnant woman . according to debrett’s , passengers should always offer to give up their seat to any individual that is pregnant , elderly , or clearly in need . it is important to remember , however , that it is just as rude to aggressively decline the offer of a seat as it is to not offer a seat .
by 16th century styles of warfare and armour had changed , and heraldry was less important on the battlefield . however it remained popular , and many people petitioned to bear arms . in addition to royal houses , noble families , and knights , ecclesiastical authorities such as bishops were also armigers . books were published identifying families with their coats of arms and lineage . the most famous of these is debrett ' s peerage , first published in 1769 .

a new and rich seam for debrett’s is obviously mobile - phone use . apparently , more than 700 people contacted the publisher to ask about the etiquette of the smartphone . “it is always rude to pay more attention to your phone than a person in the flesh , ” thunders the publisher , which was founded in 1769 , quite a few years before the world’s first nokia . correct . it also says it is bad form to use your phone in the theatre or cinema . also correct . is there anything more obnoxious than some character in the row beside you switching on their phone and tapping away at that illuminated screen while you are trying to focus on a play ?

lymphadenectomy or lymph node dissection is the surgical removal of one or more groups of lymph nodes .

it is almost always performed as part of the surgical management of cancer .

in a regional lymph node dissection , some of the lymph nodes in the tumor area are removed ; in a radical lymph node dissection , most or all of the lymph nodes in the tumor area are removed .

sentinel lymph nodes identified with indocyanine green have a high degree of diagnostic accuracy in detecting endometrial cancer metastases and can safely replace lymphadenectomy in the staging of endometrial cancer . sentinel lymph node biopsy will not identify metastases in 3 % of patients with node - positive disease , but has the potential to expose fewer patients to the morbidity of a complete lymphadenectomy .
sentinel lymph node mapping with complete pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed in 340 patients , including para - aortic lymphadenectomy in 196 patients ( 58 % ) . among these patients , 293 ( 86 % ) had successful mapping of at least 1 sentinel lymph node . overall , 41 patients ( 12 % ) had positive nodes , including 36 with ≥ 1 mapped sentinel lymph node .
the investigators concluded : “sentinel lymph nodes identified with indocyanine green have a high degree of diagnostic accuracy in detecting endometrial cancer metastases and can safely replace lymphadenectomy in the staging of endometrial cancer . sentinel lymph node biopsy will not identify metastases in 3 % of patients with node - positive disease , but has the potential to expose fewer patients to the morbidity of a complete lymphadenectomy . ”

stanford has been a leading center in advancing the use of laparoscopic lymphadenectomy since the early 1990s . doctors at the stanford cancer center have been among the first to use the procedure in prostate cancer , endometrial cancer , and other genitourinary cancers .
this knowledge helps doctors understand how advanced the cancer is , and thus how to treat it . although lymph nodes can be biopsied or removed during a surgical procedure , it is now often possible to use a less invasive approach called a laparoscopic lymphadenectomy .
laparoscopic lymphadenectomy can provide results equivalent to surgical biopsies or lymph node removal and , although it is carried out under general anesthesia , it is less invasive than surgery so your hospital stay will be shorter and you will recover much faster and with less pain .

the surgeon documented that she performed a partial mastectomy , sentinel node mapping , sentinel node biopsy and a complete lymphadenectomy . our question is directed at the sentinel node biopsy only as we are receiving denials for this procedure . we are reporting cpt code 38525 with 19302 and are receiving a denial as inclusive . we are not sure what modifier to use as the modifier 59 submitted on appeal is not bypassing our payor’s edit .
this is an often asked question . while the sentinel node biopsy is separately reportable with a partial mastectomy , the work is considered inclusive to the lymphadenectomy performed on the same day and is not separately reportable . the denial as inclusive to cpt code 19302 is correct . perform a write off on the account for cpt code 38792 as a coding error adjustment for tracking purposes . use this example as part of your compliance review .

when investigating pelvic cancers ( such as prostate , testicular , cervical , and uterine cancers ) it is important to know whether the disease has spread to the lymph nodes in the region .
the doctor navigates and inspects the region on a tv - like monitor that receives images from the camera , and can biopsy or remove the lymph nodes with a cutting instrument and tissue retrieval apparatus that is also part of the laparoscope .
in addition , the laparoscope images are magnified when they appear on the monitor , allowing your doctor to see even greater tissue detail than would be available during traditional surgery .
like all surgeries , the success of laparoscopic surgery is related to doctor ' s experience with the technique . with well over a decade of experience , you can be assured that the stanford cancer center provides the reliable , quality care that is essential when you are facing cancer .
if a woman has symptoms of endometrial cancer , her doctor will examine her and possibly order blood and urine tests .
pelvic exam and pap smears , which look for cervical cancer , can also find a small number of endometrial cancers before symptoms develop .
transvaginal ultrasound , in which the doctor inserts a wand - like instrument into the vagina . the instrument aims high - frequency sound waves at the uterus . the pattern of the echoes they produce creates a picture . saltwater can be placed into the uterus through the cervix before the ultrasound test to give a clearer picture . this is called a sonohystogram . if the endometrium looks too thick or irregular , the doctor can perform an endometrial biopsy in the office or a dilation and curettage ( d & c ) in the operating room .
the definitive test is a biopsy ( taking and testing a tissue sample from the uterus ) . if a biopsy confirms the diagnosis , the doctor will order imaging tests such as a ct scan or mri ; blood tests for ca - 125 , a marker seen both with ovarian and endometrial cancer ; and a colonoscopy . the doctor may also order exploratory surgery ( opening the abdomen ) to determine how far the disease has spread .
if the cancer has spread beyond the uterus , then after surgery the patient is given radiation , often in combination with chemotherapy , to wipe out the remaining cancer cells . some doctors also recommend radiation when the tumor is large but has not spread beyond the uterus .
patients in remission need checkups every few months for several years . if cancer comes back , it usually happens within three years . caught early , cancer that comes back may be cured with aggressive radiation , chemotherapy , or more surgery .
to help cope with the emotional difficulties of having uterine cancer , patients might consider joining a support group . counseling is especially helpful for pre - menopausal women who become depressed after a hysterectomy .

melanoma is a type of skin cancer . when it spreads to other places in your body , it ' s called metastatic , or advanced . you may also hear your doctor refer to it as stage iv melanoma .
although in most cases it can ' t be cured , treatments and support can help you live longer and better . doctors have new therapies that have greatly increased survival rates . and researchers are working to find new medications that can do even more .
remember : you still have control over the decisions you make about your treatment and your life . it ' s important to have people you can talk to about your plans , your fears , and your feelings . so find support and learn about your treatment options . that will help you make the most of your life .
in most cases , melanoma is caused by exposure to ultraviolet ( uv ) radiation from the sun or tanning beds . it damages the dna of your skin cells , and they start to grow out of control .
you can get the disease on parts of your body that don ' t get sunlight , though , like the palms of your hands and the retinas of your eyes .
if you haven’t already been diagnosed with melanoma , your doctor will do a skin exam . if he thinks you may have skin cancer , you ' ll need a biopsy to find out .
a doctor will look at the growth under a microscope to see how thick it is . usually , a thicker tumor means the cancer is more serious .
if you ' ve been diagnosed with melanoma , you may also have a blood test and an imaging test to see if it has spread to other areas .
chest x - ray . this uses radiation in low doses to make pictures of the inside of your body .
ct scan ( computerized tomography ) . it uses powerful x - rays so your doctor can get a detailed look at what ' s going on inside you .
mri ( magnetic resonance imaging ) . it uses powerful magnets and radio waves to make pictures of organs and structures inside your body . it helps show blood flow and can help locate cancer growths .
pet scan . this test uses radioactive material to look for signs of cancer .
the doctor will also check to see if your lymph nodes are enlarged . lymph nodes are bean - sized glands under the skin in your neck , underarms , and groin . the doctor uses a thin needle to remove a sample of cells . this is called a fine - needle aspiration biopsy .
the doctor may also do a lymph node biopsy . this removes the lymph nodes most likely to have cancer cells . in this test , the doctor injects a dye into the area where the potential cancer was . it spreads to the nearest lymph nodes , which are removed and tested . if these lymph nodes , called sentinel nodes , don ' t have cancer , then it ' s likely the cancer hasn ' t spread .
the results of these tests help the doctor determine the stage of your cancer and how widespread it is .
you and your doctor will decide on the best treatment plan once you know that information .
although metastatic melanoma is not easy to treat , you do have options . choosing what ' s right for you will depend on where and how big the cancer is , what your health is like , and what your wishes are . since most cases of metastatic melanoma can ' t be cured , the goals of treatment are to :
treatment used to be mainly radiation and chemotherapy . now there are newer drugs available that can work better , studies show . your treatment may include :
surgery . your doctor may remove tumors or lymph glands . although surgery alone probably won ' t cure the cancer , it can help you live longer and have fewer symptoms . your doctor will likely also use one or more other treatments .
radiation and chemotherapy . these can help some people , depending on the size and location of the cancer .
immunotherapy . these drugs boost your immune system so it can better attack the cancer . you get immunotherapy through an iv or a shot in high doses . it can have serious side effects , but it can also shrink metastatic melanomas and help some people live longer . these drugs include :
interferon - alpha and interleukin - 2 : these older drugs can help some people live longer .
ipilimumab ( yervoy ) : there are two uses for this drug . it can be given to individuals who have had surgery to remove melanoma in order to prevent the melanoma from coming back . it can also be used for late - stage melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery . but the drug doesn ' t work for everyone , and it can have serious , even life - threatening , side effects .
nivolumab ( opdivo ) : it works by inhibiting the pd - 1 protein on cells , which blocks the body’s immune system from attacking melanoma tumors . it ' s been shown to increase overall survival .
pembrolizumab ( keytruda ) : in people with advanced melanoma who have already been treated with yervoy , keytruda may shrink tumors in some . you take it as an iv infusion every 3 weeks .
researchers are studying many other drugs that spur the immune system to fight melanoma . because metastatic melanoma is so hard to treat , you may want to ask your doctor about taking part in a clinical trial , which uses a treatment that ' s still under research .
targeted therapy . this kind of treatment aims to kill cancer cells without harming healthy ones . they may work for people who have certain changes in genes . because these treatments target the tumors , they may cause fewer side effects than chemotherapy or radiation .
some drugs attack a gene called braf . about half the people who have melanoma have changes in this gene , which helps cancer cells grow . if you have a tumor with braf , these drugs may shrink it and extend your life . they include :
other drugs block an enzyme called mek . this enzyme is often overactive in some cancers . these drugs , working in combination with a braf inhibitor to attack cancer cells , seem to shrink tumors for a longer period of time :
hearing that your cancer has spread is scary , but a lot of research is underway to find new treatments . and there are treatments available to try to stop the disease from spreading , so you can live longer .
it ' s important to have support and to talk about your fears and feelings , too . your doctor can help you find a cancer support group .
if you lose your appetite , eat small amounts of food every 2 to 3 hours instead of bigger meals . a dietitian can give you other tips on nutrition and eating during your cancer treatment . ask your doctor for a referral .
exercise can help you feel better overall and fight fatigue . but listen to your body , and balance rest and activity .
get the kind of emotional support that ' s right for you . it could be from family , friends , your cancer support group , or a religious group .
although stage iv melanoma is hard to treat , each case is different , and some people will respond very well to treatment . talk to your doctor about all your options , and find out more about clinical trials to see if one is right for you .
the melanoma research foundation has an online library of free support services , including an online patient community and a phone buddy program . and for more information on metastatic melanoma , go to the web site of the skin cancer foundation .

the classification of regional lymph node stations for lung cancer staging reported by mountain and dresler in 1997 describes the anatomic landmarks for 14 levels of intrapulmonary , hilar , and mediastinal lymph nodes stations . [ 5 ] tnm classification for lung cancer classifies lymph node stations into six zones , as follows :
n3 lymph nodes are contralateral mediastinal , ipsilateral scalene , or supraclavicular . among the primary tumors that had only a single involved n2 station , the most common site of lymph node metastases was level 4r for right - upper - lobe tumors , levels 5 / 6 for left - upper - lobe tumors , and level 7 for middle - and lower - lobe tumors . [ 6 ]
four published randomized trials compared mediastinal lymph node dissection and mediastinal lymph node sampling . [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] a meta - analysis of the first three trials reported a survival advantage for stages i , ii , and iiia , and a fixed - effects model by the same group reported that mediastinal lymph node dissection reduced the risk of death . [ 11 , 12 ]
call et al assessed the results of vamla for staging nsclc in 160 cases , 138 of which involved clinical n0 - 1 cancers . [ 13 ] they found vamla to be highly accurate , with a sensitivity of 0 . 96 ( 95 % confidence interval [ ci ] , 0 . 81 - 99 . 3 ) , a specificity of 1 ( 95 % ci , 0 . 97 - 1 ) , a positive predictive value of 1 ( 95 % ci , 0 . 87 - 1 ) , a negative predictive value of 0 . 99 ( 95 % ci , 0 . 95 - 0 . 99 ) , and a diagnostic accuracy of 0 . 99 ( 95 % ci , 0 . 96 - 0 . 99 ) . complications developed in 5 . 9 % of patients .

accurate mediastinal staging is the hallmark of a good thoracic oncology program . despite advancements in imaging , surgical staging remains the gold standard of mediastinal staging for lung cancer . this review article summarizes the technique of transcervical mediastinal lymph node dissection and its role in the staging of non - small cell lung cancer ( nsclc ) .
a transverse collar incision is made about 1 cm superior to the sternal notch to a length of 6–8 cm . bilateral anterior jugular veins are divided and subplatysmal flaps are developed superiorly and inferiorly with the upper flap reaching the level of the thyroid cartilage and the lower flap extending below the margin of the sternal notch ( fig .
operative photograph showing the transverse cervical incision to accomplish temla . subplatysmal flaps have been raised and the strap muscles are being separated
in this operative photograph , the rultract retractor hook has been placed retrosternally and the sternum has been elevated . the innominate has been dissected and the right paratracheal space accessed
) . this extensive dissection also facilitates thoracoscopic lobectomy / pneumonectomy as well as saves time by avoiding the need to dissect these stations by vats .
dissection of the deep right paratracheal space . after the lymph node packet is removed , the distal trachea and azygous vein can be clearly visualized
) . occasionally , patients have thoracic inlets mobile and open enough to permit direct viewing of the distal tracheobronchial dissection .
in summary , temla is a promising technique that deserves multi - institutional evaluations for enhanced staging and in approaching the mediastinum for other pathology . future studies are needed to determine whether temla improves patient selection or survival with regards to lung cancer resection .
