This long‐term follow‐up study determined survival rates in a Swedish national cohort of 417 patients with breast cancer who all had neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST). Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was performed before NAST in clinically node‐negative and after NAST in clinically node‐positive patients.

Implications of omitting sentinel lymph node biopsy on adjuvant decision making for patients with small breast cancers. [PDF]
Abstract Background Selective omission of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early breast cancer limits surgical morbidity. Adoption of this strategy relies on multidisciplinary consensus. Understanding how SLNB omission influences guideline‐based adjuvant treatment decisions, and the proportion of patients impacted, can help guide ...

Protective myoelectric activity at performing upper limb neurodynamic test 1 in breast cancer survivors. A cross-sectionalobservational study [PDF]
13 p.Myoelectric activity and range of motion during ULNT1 were recorded in 62 breast cancer (BC) survivors who had axillary lymph node dissection (n = 30) or sentinel lymph node biopsy (n = 32) within the previous 18 months, and 63 age-matched healthy ...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy in Japan [PDF]
Similar to the practice in Western countries, intraoperative lymphatic mapping and selected lymphadenectomy (SLNB) have been validated and are widely performed for the staging of melanoma in Japan. Recent studies have shown that approximately 90% (73/81) of university hospitals and several cancer hospitals routinely perform SLNB, and half of all ...

Sentinel node biopsy should be supplemented by axillary sampling in patients with small breast cancers [PDF]
Axillary clearance provides important prognostic information but is associated with significant morbidity. Sentinel node biopsy can provide staging .141 patients with node negative early breast cancers-tumour size less than 1.5 cm measured clinically or ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Lymphoscintigraphy and triangulated body marking for morbidity reduction during sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer [PDF]
Current trends in patient care include the desire for minimizing invasiveness of procedures and interventions. This aim is reflected in the increasing utilization of sentinel lymph node biopsy, which results in a lower level of morbidity in breast cancer

Contraindications of sentinel lymph node biopsy: Áre there any really? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: One of the most exciting and talked about new surgical techniques in breast cancer surgery is the sentinel lymph node biopsy. It is an alternative procedure to standard axillary lymph node dissection, which makes possible less invasive ...
