The Metastatic Rate of Internal Mammary Lymph Nodes When Metastasis of Internal Mammary Lymph Node Is Suspected on PET/CT
PURPOSE Metastatic status of internal mammary lymph node (IMLN) has a clinical importance in assessing the stage and prognosis of breast cancer. But, when metastasis of IMLN is suspected; the management is controversial. We retrospectively reviewed 36 breast cancer patients who underwent IMLN biopsy, and investigated the pathologic status of IMLN which suspected metastasis with positron emissio...
متن کاملInternal mammary lymph node biopsy guided by computed tomography.
Internal mammary lymph node enlargement may be demonstrated using computed tomography (CT), and a confirmatory tissue diagnosis of metastatic involvement may be obtained using fine needle aspiration biopsy with needle tip placement guided by the CT scanner. A case history is described to illustrate how a patient presented 9 years after mastectomy with an internal mammary lymph node metastasis a...
متن کاملBilateral Internal Mammary Lymph Nodes—Is Epsilateral Internal Mammary Node Treatment Sufficient?

Though there is crossover of lymphatics across the mid-line, only ipsilateral internal mammary nodes are evaluated or treated. Considering the negative impact on survival of patients with inner quadrant tumor, do we need to treat bilateral internal mammary nodes?

متن کاملIncidental irradiation of internal mammary lymph nodes in breast cancer: conventional two-dimensional radiotherapy versus conformal three-dimensional radiotherapy*
OBJECTIVE To evaluate incidental irradiation of the internal mammary lymph nodes (IMLNs) through opposed tangential fields with conventional two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) radiotherapy techniques and to compare the results between the two techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 80 breast cancer patients in whom radiotherapy of the IMLNs was not indi...
