Sentinel lymph node biopsy [PDF]
BMJ, 2004 Is now an established and widely available technique for breast cancer and melanoma Sentinel lymph node biopsy has developed over the past decade as a minimally invasive technique to assess regional lymph node status in patients with malignancy. This technique allows us to find out the status of a lymph node basin by removing only a small number of ...

Pathology of sentinel lymph nodes for melanoma [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2008 As a concept sentinel lymph node biopsy seems attractive in that it attempts to identify the first lymph node, rather than the nearest node, draining a particular anatomic area where a tumour has arisen. Pathological assessment can then indicate whether metastases are present and the procedure is either a strong prognostic indicator or possibly ...

Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping of Liver [PDF]
Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2015 Although the sentinel lymph node (SLN) hypothesis has been applied to many tissues and organs, liver has remained unstudied. Currently, it is unclear whether hepatic SLNs even exist. If so, they could alter the management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and other hepatic malignancies by minimizing the extent of surgery while still providing precise ...

Sentinel lymph node in cervical cancer [PDF]
Medical Journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2017 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.

Surgery and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy [PDF]
Seminars in Oncology, 2007 In patients with melanoma, surgery is pivotal not only for the primary tumor but also for regional and often distant metastases. The minimally invasive technique of sentinel node (SN) biopsy has become standard for detection of occult regional node metastasis in patients with intermediate-thickness primary melanoma; in these patients it has a central ...

Axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy: An overview
International Journal of Surgery, 2008 The sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the standard procedure in the staging and management of axillary lymph nodes in early breast cancer. This procedure has been validated by several studies with an accuracy of 95% and a false-negative rate ranging from 5 to 15%.

Nanoparticles in sentinel lymph node mapping [PDF]
WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, 2009 AbstractThe lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels are more difficult to access than most vascular structures. Interstitial injection of imaging agents is often necessary to opacify the lymphatics. Traditionally, radionuclide methods of sentinel node imaging have dominated this field, however, limitations in resolution and exposure to radiation have ...

Survival and the Sentinel Lymph Node in Melanoma [PDF]
Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2009 Lymphatic mapping with sentinel lymphadenectomy (SLND) has become the standard approach to intermediate thickness melanoma at most melanoma centers worldwide. The procedure has yielded numerous, unquestioned benefits for patients with melanoma, including providing vital prognostic information and improving disease-free survival with reduction of morbid
