Pathological investigation of sentinel lymph nodes
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 1999The sentinel lymph-node procedure enables selective targeting of the first draining lymph node, where the initial metastases will form. A negative sentinel node (SN) predicts the absence of tumour metastases in the other regional lymph nodes with high accuracy.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy for melanoma
The American Journal of Surgery, 1998The most powerful predictor of survival for patients with melanoma is the status of the regional lymph nodes. Sentinel lymph node biopsy may provide improved staging accuracy without the morbidity of elective lymph node dissection (ELND).Sixty-eight patients with intermediate thickness melanoma underwent gamma probe guided sentinel node biopsy without ...

Therapeutic Sentinel Lymph Node Imaging
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2009Improving existing means of sentinel lymph node identification in non-small cell lung cancer will allow for molecular detection of occult micrometastases that may cause recurrence in early stage non-small cell lung cancer. Furthermore, targeted application of chemical and biological cytotoxic agents can potentially improve outcomes in patients with ...

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.

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).

ANATOMY AND BIOPSY OF SENTINEL LYMPH NODES
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1992Lymphangiograms performed via the dorsal lymphatics of the penis demonstrate drainage into a specific lymph node center, the so-called sentinel lymph node, which is located close to the superficial epigastric vein between the latter and the superficial external pudendal vein.

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.
