The status of this or these sentinel node(s) will predict the status of all the other nodes in the basin. The sentinel node can be found stained blue or as being radioactive by injecting blue...
متن کاملSentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Melanoma
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy was first described by Morton et al. (1) in 1992 in patients with malignant melanoma. Many others over almost 100 y had made significant scientific contributions that ultimately led to the development of the technique (2–4); however, it was Morton’s group from the John Wayne Cancer Center that condensed the principle of the technique now used around the world. S...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy in melanoma.
The technique of lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for melanoma has emerged during the last 2 decades as a minimally invasive approach to evaluate regional lymph node basins in patients with intermediate- and high-risk primary cutaneous melanoma and has changed our approach to the clinically negative lymph node basin in melanoma during the same period. This review focuses o...
