Radiation exposure of the surgeons in sentinel lymph node biopsy
Background: Sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard of care for breast cancer treatment and it is getting wide acceptance in Iran. The radiation safety of the procedure has been investigated under controlled conditions, but the standard dose of radiotracer and techniques are not always observed in the community setting. The aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of the absor...
متن کاملAxillary sentinel lymph node biopsy after mastectomy: a case report
BACKGROUND Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been established as the preferred method for staging early breast cancer. A prior history of mastectomy is felt to be a contraindication. CASE PRESENTATION A patient with recurrent breast cancer in her skin flap was discovered to have positive axillary sentinel nodes by sentinel lymph node biopsy five years after mastectomy for ductal carcinoma in sit...
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 کاملWhich Patients Need an Axillary Clearance after Sentinel Node Biopsy?
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a safe and accurate minimally invasive method for detecting axillary lymph node (ALN) involvement in the clinically negative axilla thereby reducing morbidity in patients who avoid unnecessary axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Although current guidelines recommend completion ALND when macro- and micrometastatic diseases are identified by SLNB, the benef...
متن کاملIs sentinel lymph node biopsy enough for axillary macrometastasis?
Although the omission of further treatment of the axilla in early stage clinical N0 breast cancer patients with conserved breast and one or two positive micrometastatic sentinel lymph node(s) is relatively well established, the optimal management of the axilla in macrometastatic disease is still controversial. There are three randomized studies, which shed light on this issue (Table 1). The ver...
