The Concept of the Sentinel Lymph Node
2000Lymphangiograms performed via direct cannulation of lymphatic ducts demonstrate drainage of the lymph into a specific lymph node center, the so-called SLN. Contrast materials such as lipiodol, injected directly into the tissue (e.g., tongue) can demonstrate the SLN.

Histopathology of Sentinel Lymph Nodes
2008To effectively stage patients with clinically node-negative malignancies with minimal morbidity, the sentinel lymph node biopsy must rely on an accurate histopathologic examination of the sentinel nodes (1)–(7). Intuitively, the rate of identification of metastatic tumors depends on the accuracy and extent of the histopathologic evaluation, i.e., the ...

Sentinel lymph node in breast cancer
Current Opinion in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2006Sentinel lymph node biopsy has become an accepted standard in staging axillary lymph nodes for breast cancer, but there are still unresolved questions regarding the application of the sentinel node procedure. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent developments in sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer.Recent evidence has demonstrated ...

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a standard procedure for axillary staging among patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer. Both the radioisotope and blue dye methods are well established for SLN identification. The indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence method reveals subcutaneous lymphatic flow and enables the surgeon to navigate and ...

One of the most important prognostic factors in breast cancer is the involvement of regional lymph nodes. Until recently, axillary lymph node dissection was the standard of care in the primary surgical management of breast cancer. However, it has been replaced with sentinel lymph node biopsy or dissection (SLND).

Sentinel lymph nodes: Optimizing success
Seminars in Roentgenology, 2001R ECENT INTEREST and enthusiasm for lymphoscintigraphy, the imaging of flow through lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes, has accelerated as popularization of the sentinel node concept has taken hold. In 1977, the sentinel node concept was articulated by Cabanas ~ as he applied it to the surgical management of cancer of the penis.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Melanoma
Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2008Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for patients with newly diagnosed localized invasive melanoma provides excellent prognostic information and results in improved regional disease control. Prior to the common use of SLNB, regional nodal recurrence was the single most common site of melanoma recurrence, with symptomatic, bulky disease that could be ...

PATHOLOGIC ANALYSIS OF THE SENTINEL LYMPH NODE
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2000The development of the sentinel lymph node concept has had a revolutionary effect on the way radical cancer surgery is viewed. The selective excision of the sentinel node alone has been proposed as an alternative to complete regional lymphadenectomy.

Pathological Evaluation of Sentinel Lymph Nodes
Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2007The sentinel lymph nodes are the most likely site of nodal metastasis. Their focused analysis results in upstaging cancers, although the extra yield from a more intensive work-up is generally dominated by micrometastases and isolated tumor cells. Nodal staging is generally done to reflect systemic spread of solid tumors and guide treatment accordingly.
