introduction: many radiotracers have been used for sentinel node mapping with acceptable results. the main difference between these radiotracers is the particle size. in the current study, we reported defective labeling of tc-99m antimony sulfide colloid which resulted in large particle size. methods: tc-99m-antimony sulfide colloid was used for axillary sentinel node mapping of 45 breast cance...

Introduction: In the current study we evaluated the incremental value of lateral pelvic lymphoscintigraphy imaging of endometrial or cervical cancer patients who underwent sentinel node mapping. Methods: Operable endometrial and cervical cancer patients without clinical or paraclinical evidence of lymph node involvement were included in the study. The day before surgery the patients were sent ...

Vulvar cancer is a rare gynecological malignancy with mainly lymphatic spread. Sentinel node mapping plays an important role in the management of this gynecological malignancy. In the current study, we reported our experience in sentinel node mapping of vulvar cancer and review the literature accordingly. Since the introduction of sentinel node mapping to the surgical oncology community of our ...

  Introduction: There is a consensus in the literature that sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for axillary staging in early stage (I and II) breast cancer patients. Usually during lymphoscintigraphy, the location of the sentinel lymph node is marked on the skin by an indelible ink. In this study we evaluated this issue in our patients. Methods: 40 ...

background: the role of diagnostic pathology has become more prominent. this study aimed to compare the accuracy of frozen section compared with permanent section in the morning and afternoon working hours. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 99 patients with stage 1 and 2 breast cancer who underwent sentinel and non-sentinel lymph node biopsy between 2013 and 2015 were included. the result...

introduction: lymphoscintigraphy is imaging of the lymphatic system and has been integrated into the sentinel node mapping procedures. lymphoscintigraphy usually encompasses early or delayed static images. however, immediate dynamic imaging of the lymphatic basins and tumors has also been used as an adjunct lymphoscintigraphy imaging. the aim of this study was to assess the role of early dynami...

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 ...
