The Usefulness of SPECT/CT in Sentinel Node Mapping of Early Stage Breast Cancer Patients Showing Negative or Equivocal Findings on Planar Scintigraphy
Objective(s): This study sought to determine the diagnostic yield of SPECT/CT in localizing axillary sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in early breast cancer patients where planar scintigraphy (PS) was equivocal or negative.Methods: Prospective analysis of early stage breast cancer patients with nonpalpable axillary nodes undergoing SLN localization prior to nodal sampling for axillary staging. PS fi...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node detection using computed tomography lymphography is accurate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.
For breast cancer patients who have undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has not been recommended until recently. This is due to the possible lymph-flow interruption caused by fibrotic changes following chemotherapy and possible increases in false-negative cases. We investigated the changes in the lymph-flow and the detection of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN...
متن کاملRadiotracer re-injection in case of sentinel node non-visualization in a breast cancer patient
We reported a 35 year old breast cancer patient who was referred to our nuclear medicine department for sentinel node mapping. She was planned to undergo mastectomy and lymphatic mapping. A dose of Tc-99m Phytate was injection in the peri-areolar region in an intra-dermal fashion. Two hours post-injection no sentinel node was visible in the axilla. Due to a high liver uptake, inadvertent intra-...
متن کاملSentinel nodes identified by computed tomography-lymphography accurately stage the axilla in patients with breast cancer
BACKGROUND Sentinel node biopsy often results in the identification and removal of multiple nodes as sentinel nodes, although most of these nodes could be non-sentinel nodes. This study investigated whether computed tomography-lymphography (CT-LG) can distinguish sentinel nodes from non-sentinel nodes and whether sentinel nodes identified by CT-LG can accurately stage the axilla in patients wit...
متن کامل3D-CT Mammary Lymphography Facilitate the Endoscopic Sentinel Node Biopsy
In early breast cancer, the presence of metastasis in axillary lymph nodes is an important factor in prognosis and further treatment. However, axillary lymph node dissection causes many complications such as contracture of the shoulder joint, lymph edema, and paralysis of the upper extremities (Ernst, 2002). Convention holds that there is no need to dissect axillary lymph nodes for node-negativ...
