Sentinel node biopsy: concepts and current status.
One of the major routes for spread of cancer is via lymphatic vessels to local lymph nodes. For this reason, local lymph nodes are removed to prevent further spread of tumors. Over the years, surgery has evolved from therapeutic lymphadenectomy for involved nodes to elective lymphadenectomy when the risk of harboring metastasis was high. Two major problems encountered with such an approach incl...
متن کاملCurrent status of sentinel lymph node biopsy in solid malignancies
Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy were first reported in 1977 by Cabanas for penile cancer. Since that time, the technique has become rapidly assimilated into clinical practice. The sentinel node concept has been validated in cutaneous melanoma and breast cancer. However, follow-up data of patients from randomised trials is needed to establish the clinical significance of sentine...
متن کاملCurrent status of sentinel node biopsy in urological malignancies
Like in most other malignancies the lymph node status is of outstanding prognostic relevance and an important tool for the determination of adjuvant strategies for urological tumor entities, too. Even in the era of PET/CT and MRI with iron oxid nano-particles the radiological imaging technology is strongly limited in cases of metastases smaller than 5 mm. Therefore only the operative lymph node...
متن کاملSentinel node biopsy using indocyanine green in oral/oropharyngeal cancer
BACKGROUNDS Radioactive tracer-based detection has been proposed as a standard procedure in identifying sentinel nodes for cN0 oral/oropharyngeal carcinoma. However, access to radioactive isotopes may be limited in some surgical centers, and there is potential risk of the radioactive tracers to the operators. This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of near-infrared fluorescence imag...
متن کاملRadiation exposure of the surgeons in sentinel lymph node biopsy
Background: Sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard of care for breast cancer treatment and it is getting wide acceptance in Iran. The radiation safety of the procedure has been investigated under controlled conditions, but the standard dose of radiotracer and techniques are not always observed in the community setting. The aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of the absor...
