METHODS Three patients were enrolled in this study. All three were female, were similar in age, and exhibit...
متن کاملCutaneous and subcutaneous lymphatic drainage of the breast.
The aim of this study was to topographically map the superficial lymphatic drainage of the breast. The study was performed on 24 female cadavers. Patent blue dye was administered intradermally and subcutaneously. After visualization and dissection of the lymphatics, a schematic record of their routes was made on a transparency folio of the breast map. Afterwards, a summation was performed of al...
متن کاملAnatomy and physiology of lymphatic drainage of the breast from the perspective of sentinel node biopsy.
Knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system is helpful when considering a particular sentinel node biopsy technique. The delicate balance between internal and external pressures in a lymphatic channel can be influenced by the injection volume and by massage in a negative or positive way. The narrow openings in the interendothelial junctions determine the speed of clearance o...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of aberrant lymphatic drainage in recurrent breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Sentinel node biopsy (SNB) in recurrent breast cancer offers targeted axillary staging compared with axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) or no treatment. The evidence for lymphatic mapping in recurrent breast cancer is reviewed, focusing on aberrant drainage and its implications for patient management. METHODS A meta-analysis of studies evaluating lymphatic mapping in recurrent b...
متن کاملManual lymphatic drainage for lymphedema following breast cancer treatment.
BACKGROUND More than one in five patients who undergo treatment for breast cancer will develop breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). BCRL can occur as a result of breast cancer surgery and/or radiation therapy. BCRL can negatively impact comfort, function, and quality of life (QoL). Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), a type of hands-on therapy, is frequently used for BCRL and often as part of ...
