Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women. Effective screening programs can help cancer detection in early phases and reduce death. Metastasis to lymph nodes is one of the most prognostic factors in patients who underwent surgery. Also, a positive result from pathology report alert oncologist as a cause of death. Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been widely ...
متن کاملPredictive factors of non-sentinel lymph node involvement in patients with invasive breast cancer and sentinel node micrometastases.
Patient-related, tumor-related, and sentinel node (SN)-related factors have been identified with the aim of predicting non-SN status in patients with SN micrometastases. According to our previous experience, primary tumor size (p=0.005) and the presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (p=0.000) significantly predicted non-SN status in patients with SN micrometastasis; moreover, non-SN metastas...
متن کاملA New Model for Predicting Non-Sentinel Lymph Node Status in Chinese Sentinel Lymph Node Positive Breast Cancer Patients
BACKGROUND Our goal is to validate the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) nomogram and Stanford Online Calculator (SOC) for predicting non-sentinel lymph node (NSLN) metastasis in Chinese patients, and develop a new model for better prediction of NSLN metastasis. METHODS The MSKCC nomogram and SOC were used to calculate the probability of NSLN metastasis in 120 breast cancer patie...
متن کاملthe accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy compared with axillary lymph node dissection in breast cancer
background : sentinel lymph node biopsy is used as an accurate staging procedure to detect early breast cancer. several studies have documented that sentinel lymph node biopsy can accurately determine the status of axillary nodes. sentinel node biopsy offers the advantage of accurately staging the axilla and eliminating the need for a full axillary dissection for patients who have a negative se...
متن کاملRadiation exposure of the surgeons in sentinel lymph node biopsy
Background: Sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard of care for breast cancer treatment and it is getting wide acceptance in Iran. The radiation safety of the procedure has been investigated under controlled conditions, but the standard dose of radiotracer and techniques are not always observed in the community setting. The aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of the absor...
