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 کاملPrognostic significance of microscopic tumor burden in sentinel lymph node in patients with cutaneous melanoma.
BACKGROUND/AIM Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy provides useful prognostic information for patients with melanoma. The present study sought to determine the prognostic value of SLN tumor burden on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). We also assessed its association with non-sentinel lympth node (NSLN) involvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of ...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy correctly predicts regional lymph node recurrence in trunk malignant melanoma with multiple drainage basins
We report a young male with an initial excisional biopsy report of melanoma of the lower back, referred to our hospital for complete excision and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. Four peritumoral intradermal Tc-99m phytate injection was performed and SLNs were detected in both axillary and right inguinal regions. On the biopsy only the right axillary SLN was metastatic leading to right axilla...
متن کاملImportance of sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with thin melanoma.
HYPOTHESIS The status of the sentinel node (SN) confers important prognostic information for patients with thin melanoma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS We queried our melanoma database to identify patients undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy for thin (< or =1.00-mm) cutaneous melanoma at a tertiary care cancer institute. Slides of tumor-positive SNs were reviewed by a melanoma pathologist t...

Background: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has become the standard of care in malignant melanoma, it is commonly identified by intradermal injection of both radiocolloid tracer and Patent Blue Dye (PBD) around the tumor. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of PBD in identifying inguinal SLN and also the accuracy of SLN mapping performed by peritumoral injection of PBD without combined ra...
