Mapping Sentinel Lymph Node Metastasis by Dual-probe Optical Imaging
Purpose: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has emerged as the preferred standard procedure in patients with breast cancer, melanoma and other types of cancer. Herein, we developed a method to intra-operatively map SLNs and differentiate tumor metastases within SLNs at the same time, with the aim to provide more accurate and real-time intraoperative guidance. Experimental Design: Hyaluronic acid...
متن کاملMonte Carlo-based optimization of a gamma probe system for sentinel lymph node mapping
Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a standard surgical technique to identify sentinel lymph node (SLN) for the staging of early breast cancer. Nowadays, two methods are used for the identification of SLN: blue dye method aiding visually and radioactive dye using gamma detector. A wide range of gamma probe systems with different design and performance are used in...
متن کاملClinical Evaluation of 99mTc-Rituximab for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Breast Cancer Patients.
UNLABELLED The metastatic status of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) might be the most important prognostic factor in breast cancer. In this paper, we report to our knowledge the first study of (99m)Tc-rituximab as a radiotracer for imaging of SLNs using lymphoscintigraphy in both preoperative and intraoperative breast cancer patients. METHODS (99m)Tc-rituximab was designed as an SLN tracer target...
متن کامل99mTc-Tilmanocept: A Novel Molecular Agent for Lymphatic Mapping and Sentinel Lymph Node Localization.
Preoperative lymphatic mapping in conjunction with intraoperative γ-probe detection is widely used for sentinel node localization in melanoma, breast cancer, and other malignancies. (99m)Tc-radiocolloids have been the standard radiotracers used for sentinel node mapping. (99m)Tc-tilmanocept is a receptor-binding molecular imaging agent approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for lymph...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node in cervical cancer
Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women. Effective screening programs can help cancer detection in early phases and reduce death. Metastasis to lymph nodes is one of the most prognostic factors in patients who underwent surgery. Also, a positive result from pathology report alert oncologist as a cause of death. Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been widely ...
