Lymphoscintigraphy and Sentinel Nodes [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2015 It has been validated that sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) shows whether a patient's breast cancer or melanoma has spread to regional lymph nodes. As a result, management of patients with these cancers has been revolutionized. SLNB has replaced axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) as the staging modality of choice for early breast cancer and has ...

Sentinel Node Mapping in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Using an Intraoperative Radiotracer Technique [PDF]
Asia Oceania Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Biology, 2019 Objective(s): Lymph node metastases are the most significant prognostic factor in localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identification of the first nodal drainage site (sentinel node) may improve detection of metastatic nodes. Extended surgeries,

The sentinel node in gynaecological malignancies [PDF]
Cancer Imaging, 2006 As lymph node metastasis is one of the earliest features of tumour cell spread in most human cancers, assessment of the regional lymph nodes is required for tumour staging, determining prognosis and planning adjuvant therapeutic strategies. However, complete lymph node dissections are frequently associated with significant complications.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy [PDF]
BMJ, 2004 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 ...

How does the mitotic index impact patients with T1 melanoma? Comparison between the 7th and 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer melanoma staging system, [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2020 Background: The mitotic index is no longer used to classify T1 melanoma patients into T1a and T1b, so it should not be used to indicate sentinel node biopsy in these patients.
