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 ...
Background: The benefits of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for breast cancer patients with histologically negative axillary nodes, in whom axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is thereby avoided, ...
The sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the lymph node that represents the 'gate-keeper' of the lymphatic basin; it is the first node to receive lymphatic drainage from the site of the primary tumor. SLN ...
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 ...
The committee noted that the clinical evidence showed Magtrace and Sentimag to be as effective as the dual technique for detecting sentinel lymph nodes, including malignant nodes. Other clinically ...
Surgical Complications Associated With Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection (SLND) Plus Axillary Lymph Node Dissection Compared With SLND Alone in the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Trial Z0011 ...
Trials evaluating the omission of completion axillary-lymph-node dissection in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer and sentinel-lymph-node metastases have been compromised by limited ...
The sentinel node is the first lymph node that filters lymphatic fluid from the tissue surrounding a tumor. As the first node in the lymph circulatory system “downstream” from the tumor, this is more ...
NICE commissioned an external assessment centre (EAC) to review the evidence submitted by the company. This section summarises that review. Full details of all the evidence are in the project ...
