Topical imiquimod and in situ vulvar melanoma: A promising therapy?
Abstract Objectives Vulvar melanoma is a rare type of cancer that affects mainly postmenopausal women. There are no established protocols for the treatment of vulvar melanoma. From data extrapolated from the literature on cutaneous melanoma, surgical excision remains the best option for the resectable disease.

Ultrasound mapping of lymph node and subcutaneous metastases in patients with cutaneous melanoma: Results of a prospective multicenter study [PDF]
Background: Ultrasound (sonography, B-mode sonography, ultrasonography) examination improves the sensitivity in more than 25% compared to the clinical palpation, especially after surgery on the regional lymph node area.

The Outcome of Patients with Melanoma Is Not Associated with the Time Point of Lymphatic Mapping with Respect to Excisional Biopsy of the Primary Tumor [PDF]
Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become the standard care for melanoma and is an important diagnostic procedure. It has been doubted whether lymphoscintigraphy detects the correct sentinel lymph node (SLN) when excision of the tumor and ...

The Development and Challenges of PET/MRI Dual‐Modality Imaging Probes—An Update
ABSTRACT The integration of Positron emission tomography (PET) with Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combines the functional imaging capabilities of PET with the high‐resolution anatomical detail of MRI, creating a synergistic platform for advanced diagnostic imaging and image‐guided therapies. Central to the success of this dual‐modality system is the

Detection of sentinel and non-sentinel lymph node micrometastases by complete serial sectioning and immunohistochemical analysis for gastric cancer [PDF]
Background We investigated the presence and distribution of the sentinel and the non-sentinel node micrometastases using complete serial sectioning and immunohistochemical staining (IHC), to inspect whether lymph node micrometastases spread to the ...

Sonographic imaging is used to identify the presence, number and location of malignant lymph nodes. Axillary lymph nodes suspicious of harbouring breast cancer metastasis can be localised to three surgical axillary levels. This paper will unpack the axillary anatomy, muscular sonographic landmarks, surgical axillary lymph node levels and the ...
