Sentinel lymph node in cervical cancer
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 کاملIncreased sentinel lymph node lymphangiogenesis is associated with nonsentinel axillary lymph node involvement in breast cancer patients with a positive sentinel node.
PURPOSE Lymph node (LN) lymphangiogenesis has recently been shown to be important in the premetastatic niche of sentinel LNs. To study its role in the further metastatic spread of human breast cancer, we investigated the association of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in sentinel LN metastases with the presence of nonsentinel LN metastases in breast cancer patients with a positive sentinel LN...
متن کاملPredictors for nonsentinel node involvement in breast cancer patients with micrometastases in the sentinel lymph node.
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in breast cancer allows for a more thorough pathologic assessment with serial sectioning and cytokeratin staining. This has resulted in increased detection of micrometastatic disease (tumor size < 2 mm) in the SLN. Unfortunately, the value of completion axillary dissection after finding micrometastatic disease in the SLN remains poorly defined. Over a 2-year per...
متن کاملPredicting sentinel lymph node metastasis in breast cancer with lymphoscintigraphy.
OBJECTIVE Lymphoscintigraphy is an effective method for detecting sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). However, the rate and degree of SLN detection is not uniform. We quantified SLNs detected with lymphoscintigraphy, and investigated correlations with factors that may influence detection. We then attempted to predict SLN metastasis from lymph node counts, comparing the predictions to subsequent biopsy...
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...
