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 کاملAxillary reverse mapping in breast cancer with enlarged lymph node
Objective: The research is to explore the success rate and safety of axillary reverse mapping (ARM) and the effect on the function and lymphedema of ipsilateral upper limb, and to investigate the quality-of-life of patients with breast cancer after operation, as well as to explore the related factors affecting the success rate of ARM. Methods: In operation of 60 cases of female patients with en...
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 کاملPrediction Axillary Lymph Node Involvement Status on Breast Cancer Data
Introduction: one of the foremost usual methods for evaluating breast cancer is the removal of axillary lymph nodes (ALN) which include complications such as edema, limited hand movements, and lymph accumulation. Although studies have shown that the sentinel gland condition represents the axillary nodules context in the mammary gland, the efficacy, and safety of the guard node biopsy need to be...
متن کاملThe clinical relevance of axillary reverse mapping (ARM): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in patients with breast cancer has the potential to induce side-effects, including upper-limb lymphedema. Axillary reverse mapping (ARM) is a technique that enables discrimination of the lymphatic drainage of the breast from that of the upper limb in the axillary lymph node (LN) basin. If lymphedema is caused by removing these lymphatics and node...
