Internal Mammary Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer - Effects on Disease Prognosis and Therapeutic Protocols - A Case Report
BACKGROUND The main prognostic factor in early staged breast cancer is the axillary lymph node metastatic affection. Sentinel lymph node biopsy, as a staging modality, significantly decreases surgical morbidity. The status of internal mammary lymph nodes gains an increased predictive role in grading breast carcinomas and modulation of postoperative therapeutic protocols. If positive, almost alw...
متن کاملbreast cancer and internal mammary sentinel nodes: a meta-analysis
b a ckground: the management of internal mammary (im) nodes in breast cancer lacks a well-defined consensus. lymphoscintigraphy identifies up to one-third of breast cancer patients with extra-axillary drainage, which is mainly located in the im chain. our aim in this meta-analysis is to identify the lymphoscintigraphy technique variables that effect im node identification. m ethods: an internet...
متن کاملBiopsies of the Internal Mammary Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer
The introduction of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) concept and its biopsy have deeply changed the management of many cancers [1,2]. The SLN is defined as the first LN to which cancer cell are most likely to spread from a primary tumour; in cT1-T2 breast cancer patients, the axillary (Ax) SLN biopsy is now considered the standard of care for staging clinically node-negative patients [3]. The AxLN...
متن کاملNovel Biomarkers Aim at Detecting Metastatic Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer
Background: Intra-operative molecular diagnostic assays are currently used for the detection of lymph node metastases. The objective of this study was to find new biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy in the detection of metastatic axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. Methods: We applied an absolute quantitative real-time RT-PCR to quantitate the expression of CK19, KLK11, and CL...
