Sentinel lymph node biopsy in melanoma patients: An experience with Tc-99m antimony sulfide colloid
Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for lymph node staging in intermediate thickness melanoma. In Iran, this procedure has not been addressed sufficiently. In this study, we report our experience in this area. Methods: Ten consecutive patients with intermediate thickness melanoma where included in our study. 1.5 mCi of Tc-99m antimony...
متن کاملSentinel node mapping for early breast cancer patients using 99mTc-phytate: Single center experience on 165 patients
Introduction: Several radiotracers are being used for sentinel node mapping in patients with breast cancer. In the current study, we reported our experience with 99m-Tc Phytate for sentinel node mapping in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Methods: All breast cancer patients who underwent sentinel node mapping using 99m-Tc Phytate were included. All patients received intradermal peri-are...
متن کاملIntraoperative Injection of Technetium-99m Sulfur Colloid for Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Breast Cancer Patients: A Single Institution Experience
Background. Most institutions require a patient undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy to go through nuclear medicine prior to surgery to be injected with radioisotope. This study describes the long-term results using intraoperative injection of radioisotope. Methods. Since late 2002, all patients undergoing a sentinel lymph node biopsy at the Yale-New Haven Breast Center underwent intraoperativ...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients after overnight migration of radiolabelled sulphur colloid.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance and feasibility of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients using technetium-99m (99mTc) sulphur colloid and gamma probe. METHODS From May 2000 to March 2001, 70 patients with a tumour less than 5 cm with clinically negative axillary lymph nodes underwent sentinel node biopsy followed by standard axillary dissection. 99mTc sulphur colloid was ...
متن کاملClinical Evaluation of 99mTc-Rituximab for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Breast Cancer Patients.
UNLABELLED The metastatic status of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) might be the most important prognostic factor in breast cancer. In this paper, we report to our knowledge the first study of (99m)Tc-rituximab as a radiotracer for imaging of SLNs using lymphoscintigraphy in both preoperative and intraoperative breast cancer patients. METHODS (99m)Tc-rituximab was designed as an SLN tracer target...
