intra-operative assessment of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer
lymph node status remains an important prognostic indicator for survival in breast cancer. sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the standard method of assessment of clinically node negative breast cancers. economic implications as well as patient related factors have lead to the development a number of intra-operative techniques. review of the emerging trends in the last 4 years show that alth...
متن کاملFusion of SPECT and multidetector CT images for accurate localization of pelvic sentinel lymph nodes in prostate cancer patients.
OBJECTIVE The present study was performed to investigate the feasibility of fusion of images obtained by SPECT and multidetector CT (MDCT) for the accurate localization of sentinel lymph nodes in prostate cancer patients. METHODS To facilitate the fusion of both SPECT and CT images, a pelvic MDCT scan was performed with 3 markers of small plastic bullets attached to the skin over the bilatera...
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...
متن کاملRelationship between sentinel lymph nodes and postoperative tangential fields in early breast cancer, evaluated using SPECT/CT
Single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) demonstrates the precise location of the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients with breast cancer. We evaluated the relationship between SLNs and postoperative tangential fields by using SPECT/CT images. Subjects included 72 patients with early breast cancer who underwent SPECT/CT of the SLNs and received whole-breast i...
متن کاملIntraoperative Assessment of Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer
Despite this, sentinel lymph node biopsy is considered as a standard method of assessment of clinically node-negative breast cancers. Economicimplications as well as patient related factors have led to the development a number of intraoperative techniques. Review of the emerging trends of practice in the last 4 years show that although routine histological examination remains the gold standard ...
