Sentinel lymph node biopsy [PDF]
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 ...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy versus axillary lymph node dissection in breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy with one to two metastatic sentinel lymph nodes: sub-analysis of the SINODAR-ONE multicentre randomized clinical trial and reopening of enrolment [PDF]
Background: The initial results of the SINODAR-ONE randomized clinical trial reported that patients with T1-2 breast cancer and one to two macrometastatic sentinel lymph nodes treated with breast-conserving surgery, sentinel lymph node biopsy only, and ...

Recent advances and perspectives in the application of repeat sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients underwent breast-conserving surgery [PDF]
Due to a series of complications associated with traditional axillary lymph node dissection, sentinel lymph node biopsy has now replaced axillary lymph node dissection as the standard axillary staging procedure for patients with negative axillary lymph ...

Surgery and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy [PDF]
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 ...

Current status of sentinel lymph node biopsy in solid malignancies [PDF]
Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy were first reported in 1977 by Cabanas for penile cancer. Since that time, the technique has become rapidly assimilated into clinical practice.

Axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy after mastectomy: a case report [PDF]
Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been established as the preferred method for staging early breast cancer. A prior history of mastectomy is felt to be a contraindication.

Sentinel lymph node biopsies in patients with malignant melanoma — qualifying principles and histopathological assessment (2017) [PDF]
In 1999, the World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that sentinel lymph node biopsy should be the standard of management for those patients with melanomas without clinical signs of metastases to the regional lymph nodes.

History of sentinel node and validation of the technique [PDF]
Sentinel node biopsy is a minimally invasive technique to select patients with occult lymph node metastases who may benefit from further regional or systemic therapy. The sentinel node is the first lymph node reached by metastasising cells from a primary
