Melanoma staging and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Tumor staging of melanoma is a crucial step for estimating patient prognosis, deciding on therapy approach, and efficient collection, analysis, comparison and communication of scientific data across borders and research groups. Recently, the Melanoma Staging Committee of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) has proposed a revision of the widely used melanoma staging system, using an ev...
متن کاملIntra-Operative Lymphatic Mapping and Sentinel Node Biopsy in Laryngeal Carcinoma: Preliminary Results
Introduction: Sentinel node mapping has been used for laryngeal carcinoma in several studies, with excellent results thus far.In the current study, we report our preliminary results on sentinel node mapping in laryngeal carcinoma using intra-operative peri-tumoral injection of a radiotracer. Materials and Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx were included...
متن کاملProposed modifications of supraclavicular lymph node metastasis in the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma staging system for improved survival stratification
The present study aims to investigate the clinical implication of supraclavicular lymph nodes (SCLNs) in thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). A total of 1156 ESCC patients who underwent three-field lymphadenectomy with node metastasis were analyzed retrospectively. SCLNs were defined as regional nodes in the current system or as distant nodes in the modified system. Survival was ...
متن کاملReliability of sentinel lymph node biopsy for regional staging of head and neck Merkel cell carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE To determine (1) the reliability of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy and (2) the need for cytokeratin 20 (CK-20) immunostaining in the staging of head and neck Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). DESIGN Retrospective cohort study (median follow-up of 34.5 months). SETTING Tertiary care center. PATIENTS Ten patients with head and neck MCC who underwent regional staging with SLN biopsy (...
متن کاملSentinel node biopsy as an alternative to elective neck dissection for staging of early oral carcinoma.
BACKGROUND We report the outcome of sentinel node biopsy (SNB) for staging the neck in a consecutive cohort of 34 patients with T1/2 clinically N0 oral carcinoma. METHODS SNB was performed along with resection of primary tumor. Neck dissection was reserved for failure of SNB or pathologically positive sentinel nodes (pN+). RESULTS Sentinel node identification was successful in 32 of 34 pati...
