Internal mammary node management in breast cancer. A review.
BACKGROUND Internal mammary nodes visualized during sentinel node biopsy for breast cancer, remain an unresolved management issue. Further, both internal mammary node (IMN) radiotherapy and biopsy have attendant risks and hence should be used with caution. The purpose of this review is to highlight the available data and evidence. METHODS AND RESULTS A PubMed database from 1960 to 2012 using ...
متن کاملAxillary and internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
With the improvement of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), the proportion of pathological complete response (pCR) in the breast and axillary lymph node (ALN) is increasing. The evaluation of pCR does not include the status of internal mammary lymph node (IMLN). This study is to evaluate the roles of both axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy (ASLNB) and internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy (I...
متن کاملShould Internal Mammary Lymph Node Biopsy be A Routine Step in Recurrent Breast Cancer? Report of Three Cases With Negative Axilla and Positive Internal Mammary Node
Lymph node status is the most important clinicopathological prognostic factor for breast cancer patients and in most breast units it reflects only the axillary lymph nodes. A second often overlooked basin consists of the internal mammary lymph nodes (IMLNs) whose evaluation is not done as a routine step during the staging process. We highlight the need to consider incorporation of IMLNs into a ...
متن کاملStudy of internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is an accurate method for axillary staging in patients with early breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and the feasibility of SLNB in breast cancer patients who had received preoperative (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy. METHODS Patients with advanced breast cancer stage II or III who were treated with neoadjuv...
متن کاملGenomic change of chromosome 8 predicts the response to taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in node-positive breast cancer.
This study was performed to investigate whether the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in ductal-type breast cancer could be predicted by different genomic alterations. Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) was performed on samples from 15 patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin plus docetaxel (ED). Frozen tissue bank samples were retrospectively selecte...
