breast cancer and internal mammary sentinel nodes: a meta-analysis
b a ckground: the management of internal mammary (im) nodes in breast cancer lacks a well-defined consensus. lymphoscintigraphy identifies up to one-third of breast cancer patients with extra-axillary drainage, which is mainly located in the im chain. our aim in this meta-analysis is to identify the lymphoscintigraphy technique variables that effect im node identification. m ethods: an internet...
متن کاملVideo endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL): minimally invasive resection of inguinal lymph nodes.
OBJECTIVES Describe and illustrate a new minimally invasive approach for the radical resection of inguinal lymph nodes. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE From the experience acquired in 7 operated cases, the video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL) technique was standardized in the following surgical steps: 1) Positioning of the inferior member extended in abduction, 2) Introduction of 3 work ports ...
متن کاملStudies on the metastasis of breast cancer to lymph nodes. II. Diagnosis of metastasis to internal mammary nodes using radiocolloid.
As the method for the diagnosis of metastasis of breast cancer to internal mammary nodes, 198Au colloid was used in parasternal scintigram. In the internal mammary nodes, the rate of correct diagnosis was 90% in the cases where diagnosis of positive metastasis was obtained, 44. 5% in whom metastasis was suspected, and 100% in whom diagnosis of negative metastasis was made. In the subclavian nod...
متن کاملRadiotherapy of MRI-detected involved internal mammary lymph nodes in breast cancer
BACKGROUND The internal mammary (IM) lymph node chain, along with the axillary nodal basin, is a first-echelon breast lymphatic draining site. A growing body of evidence supports irradiation of this region in node-positive breast cancer. This study evaluated the effectiveness of radiotherapy in treating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected abnormal IM lymph nodes in newly-diagnosed non-met...
