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 ...

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.

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).

Pathology of the sentinel lymph node in melanoma
Seminars in Oncology, 2004The success and further evolution of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) concept decisively depend on histological techniques. Fundamental standards were agreed on by a panel of international experts from various disciplines in 1999 and published as "The Augsburg Consensus" in 2000.

Pathologic Examination of the Sentinel Lymph Node
2005The technique of sentinel lymph node biopsy has permitted accurate identification by surgeons and nuclear medicine physicians of the first node to receive direct drainage from an area of tumor. This selective dissection of the first draining node has had the added benefit of dramatically reducing the number of nodes the pathologist must examine in the ...
