A total of 751 women clinically node negative post-NACT underwent LAS (excision of lymph node [LN] and fat below first intercostobrachial nerve). Of these women, 730 also underwent SNB by dual ...

Neck lymph node status is the most important factor for prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Sentinel node detection reliably predicts the lymph node status in melanoma and breast ...

Among all patients studied, 2.6% nodal positivity and 97.8% three-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was observed in those predicted to have ...

A pilot study suggests that sustainable breast cancer surgery can be introduced in the operating room without undermining ...

Limited data are available on survival outcomes after sentinel-lymph-node biopsy alone as compared with lymphadenectomy in cervical cancer. In this multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial, we ...

The SenSzi (GBG80) Trial 1 has assessed the contribution of information derived from lymphoscintigraphy in improving the performance of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy procedure in cN0 breast ...

Among all patients studied, 2.6% nodal positivity and 97.8% three-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was observed in those predicted to have less than 5% risk of a positive sentinel lymph node (SLN) ...

Older women with a very early, non-invasive breast cancer known as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) gain no long-term benefit from undergoing a sentinel lymph node biopsy to see if the cancer has ...

Lymphatic mapping, a recent technique first developed for the management of melanoma, is based on the concept that information about the status of the entire lymphatic drainage from a tumor site could ...

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for early cervical cancer achieved non-inferiority versus pelvic lymphadenectomy, according to results of a large randomized study from China. Patients assigned to SLN ...

One of the most important incremental steps in breast cancer has been to lessen the amount of axillary surgery that is needed to stage breast cancer. Sentinel node biopsy appears to lead a much lower ...
