[Ultrasonography in the assessment of regional lymph nodes in stomach cancer]. 1993

E P Kulikov, and A M Lebedev, and V N Polev, and A I Smirnov

The echographic and histological data on regional lymph nodes in 56 cases of stomach cancer were evaluated. Microwave examinations offer a sensitivity of 91.1% and a specificity of 30.4% for this localization. Although a focus of hyperplasia cannot be differentiated from a metastatic lesion on the basis of echographic evidence, enlargements of microwave examination-established patterns might suggest a more thorough revision of areas of regional metastases, intrasurgical biopsy, in situ cytologic examination and possibly an extended lymphadenectomy during surgery.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
