Outcomes for Patients With Micro‐Invasive or Small HER2+ Breast Cancer in Northern Sydney Local Health District

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
This retrospective study of patients with small, node‐negative HER2+ breast cancer found favorable 5‐year invasive disease‐free survival rates—93% for pT1mic/a disease and 100% for pT1b disease. Trastuzumab was administered to 66% of patients and was associated with larger tumor size and higher histologic grade.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy in penile cancer: a comparative study using modified inguinal dissection

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2008
INTRODUCTION: In the case of clinically negative inguinal regions in penile cancer, the treatments proposed might vary from careful observation to radical dissection for all patients. We evaluated the effectiveness of the sentinel lymph node biopsy using

The role of surgery in the treatment of older women with breast cancer

, 2009
A significant proportion of women diagnosed with breast cancer are over the age of 70 years and there is evidence that these patients frequently do not receive standard treatments, including surgical procedures and adjuvant therapies, which would be ...

Added value of intraoperative real-time imaging in searches for difficult-to-locate sentinel nodes. [PDF]

, 2013
Localization of sentinel lymph nodes can be challenging if they are in difficult anatomic locations or near high radiotracer activity The purpose of this study was to assess the value of intraoperative real-time imaging using a portable gamma-camera in ...

Axillary Lymph Node Yield Following Axillary Dissection in Biopsy‐Proven Node‐Positive Breast Cancer: Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy Versus Primary Surgery

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST) induces morphological changes within the axilla; however, its impact on lymph node yield (LNY) following axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is less clear. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed including female patients who underwent ALND for biopsy‐proven node‐positive breast ...

Treatment related morbidity in breast cancer patients [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was introduced for staging of the axilla to reduce the number of unnecessary axillary lymph node dissections (ALND’s) and proved to be an accurate and safe procedure to predict metastatic disease in ...

Dual-modality imaging with 99mTc and fluorescent indocyanine green using surface-modified silica nanoparticles for biopsy of the sentinel lymph node: an animal study [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: We propose a new approach to facilitate sentinel node biopsy examination by multimodality imaging in which radioactive and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanoparticles depict deeply situated sentinel nodes and fluorescent nodes with ...

Breast Angiosarcoma: 15‐Years Experience

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Breast angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive malignancy that can be primary (PAS) or secondary (SAS). This study evaluates the management and outcomes of breast angiosarcoma in a single‐center breast/surgical oncology unit. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on patients with histologically confirmed PAS or SAS who underwent ...

Gamma probe and ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology of the sentinel node (GULF) trial [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Sentinel node (SN) biopsy (SNB) detects clinically occult metastases of breast cancer and melanoma in 20-30%. Wound infections, seroma and lymph edema occur in up to 10%.
