Axillary lymph node dissection for malignant melanoma

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2010
Malignant melanoma is a common and life-threatening malignancy that often metastasizes to lymph nodes, necessitating lymph node dissections. Dissections aim for regional disease control. Dissections often result in significant morbidity and are associated with local recurrences (LRs) in the surgical field.

When is a Lymph Node Dissection a Lymph Node Dissection? The Number of Lymph Nodes Resected in Sentinel and Axillary Lymph Node Dissections

Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2012
We sought to compare the number of lymph nodes (LN) resected in axillary lymph node dissections (ALND) and sentinel lymph node dissections (SLND), and to assess the validity of registry reporting for axillary staging in breast cancer.Women in the California Cancer Registry who underwent surgical axillary staging for T1/T2, M0 breast cancer between 2004

Unnecessary axillary node dissections in the sentinel lymph node era

European Journal of Cancer, 2007
In the sentinel lymph node era, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) for uninvolved axillary lymph nodes should be considered unnecessary and inappropriate. Between January 2000 and August 2005, 3487 out of 10,031 invasive breast cancer patients consecutively operated at the European Institute of Oncology were considered not suitable for sentinel ...

Variability in axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2004
AbstractBackgroundThe axillary nodal status may influence the prognosis and the choice of adjuvant treatment of individual breast cancer patients. The variation in number of reported axillary lymph nodes and its effect on the axillary nodal stage were studied and the implications are discussed.MethodsBetween 1994 and 1997, a total of 4,806 axillary ...

The omission of axillary lymph node dissection by Sentinel Node biopsy [PDF]

Breast Cancer, 2007
Sentinel Node Biopsy, SNB has become very popular not only among medical experts but also among breast cancer patients and is now the hottest maneuver in minimizing breast cancer surgery in Japan. In this sense, this presidential symposium "Possibility of omitting ALND by SNB"was presented as the first event at the 14th Annual Meeting of the Japanese ...

Axillary Lymph Node Dissection

2010
Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has been a cornerstone of the management of breast cancer since the Halstedian era of radical mastectomy. ALND found its place due to the prevailing concepts of anatomic, sequential, breast cancer progression, as well as the somewhat predictable nature of the lymphatic drainage system of the breast.

Sentinel Lymph Node and Axillary Dissection

2019
The removal of axillary lymph nodes is nowadays used more for the diagnosis and initiation of adjuvant measures. Surgical therapy can only be one of many approaches to lymph node infiltration caused by cancer. Since the removal of axillary lymph nodes can lead to high morbidity and ultimately the survival rate is not improved by an aggressive lymph ...

Axillary Lymph Node Dissection

2020
An axillary lymph node dissection requires removal of levels I and II as defined by the pectoralis minor muscle. A comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy of the axilla is required to avoid injury to major structures. The present chapter discusses an axillary lymph node dissection.
