Imprint cytology versus frozen section analysis for intraoperative assessment of sentinel lymph node in breast cancer
INTRODUCTION Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is the gold standard for surgical staging of the axilla in breast cancer (BC). Frozen section (FS) remains the most popular means of intraoperative SLN diagnosis. Imprint cytology (IC) has also been suggested as a less expensive and equally accurate alternative to FS. The aim of our study was to perform a direct comparison between IC and FS on the s...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of sentinel node imprint cytology in breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Intraoperative diagnosis of breast cancer metastases in axillary sentinel nodes is desirable to avoid a second operation for lymphadenectomy. Imprint or touch-preparation cytology is a popular technique that has high specificity and a wide range of sensitivity. METHODS A systematic search of electronic databases was performed. Included articles were assessed for methodological and ...
متن کاملTouch imprint cytology and frozen-section analysis for intraoperative evaluation of sentinel nodes in early breast cancer.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is currently the suggested axillary staging procedure in patients with early-stage breast cancer (BC) and usually requires intraoperative frozen-section (FS) examination of the removed nodes. However, other techniques, such as touch imprint cytology (IC), real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and rapid cytokeratin immunostaining on FS may be...
متن کاملPredictive Value of Intraoperative Sentinel Lymph Node Imprint Cytology Analysis for Metastasis in Patients with Melanoma.
Since there are no standardized protocols regarding the detection of microscopic melanoma deposits in sentinel lymph nodes (SLN), the aim of this study was to present our experience with intraoperative cytological evaluation of SLN in patients with melanoma. The study included 475 SLN biopsies (SLNB) from 201 patients with primary cutaneous melanoma of intermediate thickness. Each lymph node wa...
متن کاملFrozen section is superior to imprint cytology for the intra-operative assessment of sentinel lymph node metastasis in Stage I Breast cancer patients
BACKGROUND A standard intra-operative procedure for assessing sentinel lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients has not yet been established. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty-eight patients with stage I breast cancer who underwent sentinel node biopsy using both imprint cytology and frozen section were analyzed. RESULTS Seventeen of the 138 patients had sentinel node invol...
