The indications and advantages for sentinel lymph node biopsy in melanoma are not confirmed, and it is certainly not the established treatment implied in the editorial. Sentin...
متن کاملSentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Well Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
The management of occult cervical lymph node metastasis in well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) is controversial. Given the risks of hypocalcemia, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, and increased operative time with a central compartment neck dissection (CCND), a routine adoption of prophylactic lymph node dissection has not been accepted by many as a standard management for occult metastas...
متن کاملSelective sentinel lymph node biopsy in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
While significant advances have been made in the past decade in the etiopathogenesis of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC),1 advances in surgery have not been relevant. Thus, robot-assisted cervicoscopic techniques or procedures using approaches different from the conventional transverse cervicotomy have been developed.2 The practical value of these approaches is however very limited. One of t...
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...
