The 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 کاملValue of axillary lymphoscintigraphy in patients with operated breast carcinoma.
PURPOSE To evaluate axillary dissection with axillary lymphoscintigraphy (ALS) in postoperative patients with breast carcinoma and its role in adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Additionally, to define axillary dissection as complete and incomplete with ALS and to correlate it with the number of removed lymph nodes. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the last two years, 121 women were studied four weeks after ...
متن کاملAxillary reverse mapping for preventing lymphedema in axillary lymph node dissection and/or sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is a standard surgical treatment in patients with involved axillary lymph nodes. Unfortunately, arm lymphedema develops in 2.7– 5.0% of patients treated by partial ALND (level I and II), in 3.1–9.6% of those undergoing total ALND, and in 26– 38% of patients treated with ALND and radiotherapy [1]. The risk of lymphedema is often used as an argument against A...
متن کاملAxillary 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 کاملDynamic lymphoscintigraphy in breast cancer patients: feasibility and added value
Introduction: Lymphoscintigraphy is imaging of the lymphatic system and has been integrated into the sentinel node mapping procedures. Lymphoscintigraphy usually encompasses early or delayed static images. However, immediate dynamic imaging of the lymphatic basins and tumors has also been used as an adjunct lymphoscintigraphy imaging. The aim of this study was ...
