background: sentinel node biopsy (slnb) is the standard of care for breast cancer treatment and it is getting wide acceptance in iran. the radiation safety of the procedure has been investigated under controlled conditions, but the standard dose of radiotracer and techniques are not always observed in the community setting. the aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of the absorbed doses...

background: sentinel  lymph  node  biopsy  has  shown  to  be  a  good  alternative procedure  for  axillary  lymph  node  dissection  and  to lead  to  lower  frequency  of morbidity, though this technique has its own side effects. it needs especial equipment and may not be available in some medical centers, especially in developing countries. this study aimed to identify a subgroup of patient...

Introduction: The applicability of sentinel lymph node biopsy for early detection of metastasis in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is still in the validation phase and under investigation, which might be due to the unpredictability of the lymphatic pattern in RCC. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of sentinel node biopsy in patients with ...

  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...

background : sentinel lymph node biopsy is used as an accurate staging procedure to detect early breast cancer. several studies have documented that sentinel lymph node biopsy can accurately determine the status of axillary nodes. sentinel node biopsy offers the advantage of accurately staging the axilla and eliminating the need for a full axillary dissection for patients who have a negative se...

introduction: sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for lymph node staging in intermediate thickness melanoma. in iran, this procedure has not been addressed sufficiently. in this study, we report our experience in this area. methods: ten consecutive patients with intermediate thickness melanoma where included in our study. 1.5 mci of tc-99m antimony sulfide colloid in two divide...

background : sentinel lymph node biopsy is a technique used to identify the axillary node most likely to contain tumor cells that have metastasized from a primary carcinoma of the breast. this technique provides accurate staging with fewer complications than axillary dissection and may result in decreased costs. we designed the present study to determine the accuracy and success rate of a combi...
