Use of Indocyanine Green for Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: Case Series and Methods Comparison
Introduction:. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is indicated for patients with biopsy-proven thickness melanoma greater than 1.0 mm. Use of lymphoscintigraphy along with vital blue dyes is the gold standard for identifying sentinel lymph nodes intraoperatively.

Does shear wave ultrasound independently predict axillary lymph node metastasis in women with invasive breast cancer? [PDF]
Shear wave elastography (SWE) shows promise as an adjunct to greyscale ultrasound examination in assessing breast masses. In breast cancer, higher lesion stiffness on SWE has been shown to be associated with features of poor prognosis.

The Role of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Head and Neck Cancers and Its Application Areas [PDF]
The management of the clinically N0 neck in patients with head and neck cancers still remains controversial. Elective neck dissection is traditionally recommended when the subside of the head and neck, such as the oral cavity and supraglottic area ...
