Interval nodes: the forgotten sentinel nodes in patients with melanoma.
BACKGROUND Any sentinel lymph node that receives lymph drainage directly from a primary melanoma site, regardless of its location, may contain metastatic disease. This is true even if the sentinel node does not lie in a recognized node field. Interval (in-transit) nodes that lie along the course of a lymphatic vessel between a primary melanoma site and a recognized node field are sometimes seen...
متن کاملThe role of interval nodes in sentinel lymph node mapping and dissection for melanoma patients.
UNLABELLED In sentinel node (SN) biopsy, an interval SN is defined as a lymph node or group of lymph nodes located between the primary melanoma and an anatomically well-defined lymph node group directly draining the skin. As shown in previous reports, these interval SNs seem to be at the same metastatic risk as are SNs in the usual, classic areas. This study aimed to review the incidence, lymph...
متن کاملInterval Sentinel Lymph Nodes: An Unusual Localization in Patients with Cutaneous Melanoma
Background. Recent studies have demonstrated that there exists a great variation in the lymphatic drainage in patients with malignant melanoma. Some patients have drainage to lymph nodes outside of conventional nodal basins. The lymph nodes that exist between a primary melanoma and its regional nodal basin are defined "interval nodes". Interval node occurs in a small minority of patients with f...
متن کاملThe time interval between tumor inoculation and metastatic spread to the lymph nodes.
Little is known about the time when a malig nant growth may first release tumor emboli into the lymphatic system. The problem can be inves tigated by employing the technic of anterior cham ber inoculation, since the primary tumor may be readily destroyed by eye enucleation or x-radiation. Mouse tumor C-1300 appeared suitable for this purpose, since it metastasizes to the cervical lymph nodes of...
متن کاملON DEGREES OF END NODES AND CUT NODES IN FUZZY GRAPHS
The notion of strong arcs in a fuzzy graph was introduced byBhutani and Rosenfeld in [1] and fuzzy end nodes in the subsequent paper[2] using the concept of strong arcs. In Mordeson and Yao [7], the notion of“degrees” for concepts fuzzified from graph theory were defined and studied.In this note, we discuss degrees for fuzzy end nodes and study further someproperties of fuzzy end nodes and fuzz...
