Axillary Reverse Mapping in Breast Cancer
Axillary lymph node dissection represents the standard surgical treatment for breast cancer patients with clinically or histologically involved axillary lymph nodes. However, it is associated with significant morbidity, including postoperative arm lymphedema and neuropathy of the involved extremity, and seroma formation in the axilla (Noguchi et al., 1997). Particularly, arm lymphedema develops...
متن کاملAxillary reverse mapping in breast cancer with enlarged lymph node
Objective: The research is to explore the success rate and safety of axillary reverse mapping (ARM) and the effect on the function and lymphedema of ipsilateral upper limb, and to investigate the quality-of-life of patients with breast cancer after operation, as well as to explore the related factors affecting the success rate of ARM. Methods: In operation of 60 cases of female patients with en...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of Arm Node Preserving Surgery Using Axillary Reverse Mapping for Preventing Lymphedema in Patients with Breast Cancer
PURPOSE The axillary reverse mapping (ARM) technique to identify and preserve arm nodes during sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) was developed to prevent lymphedema. The purpose of this study was to investigate the location and metastatic rate of the arm node, and to evaluate the short term incidence of lymphedema after arm node preserving surgery. MET...
متن کاملExtensive nodal disease may impair axillary reverse mapping in patients with breast cancer.
PURPOSE The aim of axillary reverse mapping (ARM) is to preserve arm lymphatics in patients with breast cancer who underwent surgical axillary staging. PATIENTS AND METHODS From June 2007 to December 2008, 49 patients who required axillary dissection (AD) underwent ARM. One milliliter of patent blue dye was injected in the ipsilateral arm, and all blue nodes identified during AD were sent sep...
متن کاملLymphedema development following breast cancer surgery with full axillary resection.
Several studies have investigated the influence of disease related, treatment related, and patient related risk factors on the development of postmastectomy edema (PME). The aim of the present study was to determine which factors present a higher risk of developing PME after breast surgery with full axillary resection (level I, II and III). To accomplish this aim, we investigated 245 women who ...
