Sentinel lymph node biopsy and melanoma biology.
Minimally invasive intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy has become the standard approach for staging the regional lymph nodes for early-stage melanoma. The procedure requires close collaboration of surgeon, pathologist, and nuclear medicine physician. The strength of lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy is its accuracy of detecting occult lymph node metastases. Revers...
متن کاملSentinel 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 کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy correctly predicts regional lymph node recurrence in trunk malignant melanoma with multiple drainage basins
We report a young male with an initial excisional biopsy report of melanoma of the lower back, referred to our hospital for complete excision and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. Four peritumoral intradermal Tc-99m phytate injection was performed and SLNs were detected in both axillary and right inguinal regions. On the biopsy only the right axillary SLN was metastatic leading to right axilla...
متن کاملPredicting lymph node metastases in pT1 rectal cancer.
With the widespread introduction of population screening for colorectal cancer in Europe, the number of early rectal cancers is expected to increase. In the past, approximately 25 % of rectal cancers presented with early disease, defined as stage I disease. First, results from population screening in the UK demonstrate an increase to approximately 50 % stage I for screen-detected carcinomas. In...
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...
