Association between lymph node evaluation for colon cancer and node positivity over the past 20 years.
CONTEXT Among patients surgically treated for colon cancer, better survival has been demonstrated in those with more lymph nodes evaluated. The presumed mechanism behind this association suggests that a more extensive lymph node evaluation reduces the risk of understaging, leading to improved survival. OBJECTIVE To further evaluate the mechanism behind lymph node evaluation and survival by ex...
متن کاملSentinel Lymph Node in Thin and Thick Melanoma.
The recommendation for sentinel lymph node bio psy (SLNB) is a controversial problem in the management of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). Rovere et al. performed a study with the objective to assess the epidemiologic profile of patients with CMM, who underwent SLNB in Blumenau-Santa Caterina region in Brazil [1]. According to ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for dia gnosis, treatment and f...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy correctly predicts regional lymph node recurrence in trunk malignant melanoma with multiple drainage basins
We report a young male with an initial excisional biopsy report of melanoma of the lower back, referred to our hospital for complete excision and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. Four peritumoral intradermal Tc-99m phytate injection was performed and SLNs were detected in both axillary and right inguinal regions. On the biopsy only the right axillary SLN was metastatic leading to right axilla...

DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St Louis, Mo, a melanoma referral center with outpatient surgical care. PA...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy for thin melanoma-con.
When sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for the regional staging of melanoma was first introduced, it was recommended for any patient with a melanoma between 1.0 and 4.0 mm in Breslow thickness. Patients with thin melanomas were not felt to have a sufficiently high risk to warrant the additional cost and morbidity of the procedure. As experience grew, several retrospective series identified risk...
