Axillary staging of breast cancer and the sentinel node.
Pathological aspects of axillary nodal staging of breast cancer and in particular sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy are reviewed. SLN biopsy seems an almost ideal staging procedure because it has both high accuracy and a low false negative rate. It may also allow a cost effective use of more sensitive methods of metastasis detection. However, the biological relevance of metastases detected only ...
متن کاملBio-Optical Devices in Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Guided Sentinel Node Biopsy for Breast Cancer
Background: The indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence method is a newly developed technology to facilitate the sentinel node biopsy with the guidance of ICG fluorescence images. However, the surgical technique is still difficult, since the sentinel node cannot be indentified before skin incision and careful dissection of the subcutaneous lymphatic vessels is necessary. In this paper, an axillary...
متن کاملthe accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy compared with axillary lymph node dissection in breast cancer
background : sentinel lymph node biopsy is used as an accurate staging procedure to detect early breast cancer. several studies have documented that sentinel lymph node biopsy can accurately determine the status of axillary nodes. sentinel node biopsy offers the advantage of accurately staging the axilla and eliminating the need for a full axillary dissection for patients who have a negative se...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer.
In a health care system in which decreasing costs, increasing quality, and minimizing morbidity are emphasized, new, less invasive surgical techniques are gaining popularity. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is one such procedure used to treat many types of breast cancer. By performing a biopsy of this node, which receives lymphatic drainage from the tumor, the surgeon can predict the status of all n...
متن کاملBritish women's choice between sentinel node biopsy and axillary node clearance for breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated that the sentinel node biopsy (SNB), which utilises a simple principle, is a reliable and minimally invasive method for determining the status of the regional lymph nodes in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer. The technique is increasingly being used in the management of patients with early breast cancer despite the lack of long-term...
