Activatable smart contrast agents for photoacoustic imaging

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in smart activatable photoacoustic imaging (PAI) contrast agents, which dynamically modulate their optical properties in response to external stimuli or microenvironmental cues. It discusses their molecular design, activation mechanisms, biomedical applications, and future prospects for clinically tailored use ...

Endoscope‐Assisted Nipple‐Sparing Mastectomy With Immediate Implant Reconstruction: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesWorld Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Breast cancer surgery increasingly favors nipple‐sparing and endoscopic techniques to optimize oncological safety, cosmetic outcomes, and patient satisfaction. We aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy and postoperative safety profiles of endoscope‐assisted and conventional open approaches for nipple‐sparing mastectomy with immediate ...

Association between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and sentinel lymph node positivity in thin melanoma [PDF]

open access: yesAnais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2019
: Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy in thin invasive primary cutaneous melanoma (up to 1mm thick) is a controversial subject. The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes could be a factor to be considered in the decision to perform this ...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy in Japan [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2009
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 ...

Development of sentinel node localization and ROLL in breast cancer in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The concept of a precise region in which to find the lymph nodes that drain the lymph directly from the primary tumor site can be traced back to a century ago to the observations of Jamieson and Dobson who described how cancer cells spread from cancer of
