SLNB3
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is generally indicated for pathologic staging of the regional nodal basin(s) for primary tumors greater than 1 mm depth and when certain adverse histologic features (eg, ulceration, high mitotic rate, lymphovascular invasion) are present in thinner melanomas. (medscape.com)
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been replacing axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) as the method of choice among early breast cancer (EBC) patients with clinically negative axillary disease ( 1 , 2 ). (jcancer.org)
In fact, most patients with early breast cancer have node-negative disease, and SLNB can be avoided if reliable preoperative diagnostic evaluation of the axilla is available ( 10 ). (jcancer.org)
Metastatic3
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is the gold standard to detect metastatic invasion from primary breast cancer. (spie.org)
the AUC was 0.809 for negative axillary node (N0) vs. any LN metastasis, 0.749 for 1 or 2 involved nodes vs. N0, and 0.874 for ≥3 nodes vs. ≤2 metastatic nodes. (jcancer.org)

Dissection1
While there had been some exploration of modifications to the procedure, such as sparing of the pectoralis muscles, as well as further dissection with removal of the internal mammary nodes, the surgical approach to breast cancer remained relatively static for more than eighty years. (amsj.org)
In recent years, improved diagnostic techniques have been developed to determine the presence of lymph node metastases. (medscape.com)
Palpable2
The morbidity associated with inguinal lymphadenectomy has discouraged surgeons from aggressively pursuing this treatment unless palpable nodes are present. (medscape.com)
As many as 30% of patients without palpable inguinal nodes have micrometastatic disease. (medscape.com)

In addition, this approach commits patients to two surgical procedures and does not take advantage of the downstaging effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the axillary nodes. (biomedcentral.com)

Status2
Consideration should also be given to assessing the status of axillary nodes by minimally invasive techniques such as ultrasound of the axilla with fine needle aspiration of suspicious nodes. (biomedcentral.com)
Using logistic regression analyses, nomograms were developed to visualize the associations between the predictors and each lymph node (LN) status endpoint. (jcancer.org)

Lymph node11
Sentinel lymph node biopsy or gene profile assay may be appropriate as prognostic studies in selected patients, but there is little evidence that they affect longevity. (medscape.com)
[ 19 ] One meta-analysis of diagnostic tests used in staging melanoma has shown that ultrasonography is the best imaging study to diagnose lymph node involvement and that positron emission tomography computed tomography scanning (PET/CT) is the best imaging study to look for other sites of metastasis. (medscape.com)
All patients received sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), of whom SLNB positive went on to axillary lymph node dissection(ALND). (biomedcentral.com)
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is generally recommended for pathologic staging of the regional nodal basin(s) in primary tumors greater than 1 mm depth and when certain adverse histologic features (eg, ulceration, high mitotic rate, lymphovascular invasion) are present in thinner melanomas. (medscape.com)
Distant metastasis work-up with CT (chest/abdomen/pelvis) or PET-CT may be considered if the patient has documented regional nodal micrometastasis based on results from the SLNB, although the yield is low (0.5-3.7%) and correlates with increasing tumor thickness, ulceration of the primary tumor, and/or large tumor burden in the sentinel lymph node(s).

Some years ago, lymph node metastases in the cervical area were thought to be aberrant (supernumerary) thyroids because they contained well-differentiated papillary thyroid cancer, but occult cervical lymph node metastases are now known to be a common finding in this disease. (medscape.com)
[ 13 ] The BRAF V600E mutation is associated with aggressive clinicopathological characteristics of papillary thyroid carcinoma, including lymph node metastasis, extrathyroidal invasion, and loss of radioiodine avidity, which may lead to failure of radioiodine treatment and disease recurrence.

For right breast cancer initially considered as TisN0M0 (Stage 0), the right mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy were performed, while the final stage was pT1bN0M0, pStage I. In the perioperative period, we limited the drug use and monitored light wavelength measurements. (springeropen.com)
