Chronic radiodermatitis following cardiac catheterisation: a report of two cases and a brief review of the literature. (1/902)

Cardiac angiography produces one of the highest radiation exposures of any commonly used diagnostic x ray procedure. Recently, serious radiation induced skin injuries have been reported after repeated therapeutic interventional procedures using prolonged fluoroscopic imaging. Two male patients, aged 62 and 71 years, in whom chronic radiodermatitis developed one to two years after two consecutive cardiac catheterisation procedures are reported. Both patients had undergone lengthy procedures using prolonged fluoroscopic guidance in a limited number of projections. The resulting skin lesions were preceded, in one case, by an acute erythema and took the form of a delayed pigmented telangiectatic, indurated, or ulcerated plaque in the upper back or below the axilla whose site corresponded to the location of the x ray tube during cardiac catheterisation. Cutaneous side effects of radiation exposure result from direct damage to the irradiated tissue and have known thresholds. The diagnosis of radiation induced skin injury relies essentially on clinical and histopathological findings, location of skin lesions, and careful medical history. Interventional cardiologists should be aware of this complication, because chronic radiodermatitis may result in painful and resistant ulceration and eventually in squamous cell carcinoma.  (+info)

Sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary dissection in breast cancer: results in a large series. (2/902)

BACKGROUND: Axillary lymph node dissection is an established component of the surgical treatment of breast cancer, and is an important procedure in cancer staging; however, it is associated with unpleasant side effects. We have investigated a radioactive tracer-guided procedure that facilitates identification, removal, and pathologic examination of the sentinel lymph node (i.e., the lymph node first receiving lymphatic fluid from the area of the breast containing the tumor) to predict the status of the axilla and to assess the safety of foregoing axillary dissection if the sentinel lymph node shows no involvement. METHODS: We injected 5-10 MBq of 99mTc-labeled colloidal particles of human albumin peritumorally in 376 consecutive patients with breast cancer who were enrolled at the European Institute of Oncology during the period from March 1996 through March 1998. The sentinel lymph node in each case was visualized by lymphoscintigraphy, and its general location was marked on the overlying skin. During breast surgery, the sentinel lymph node was identified for removal by monitoring the acoustic signal from a hand-held gamma ray-detecting probe. Total axillary dissection was then carried out. The pathologic status of the sentinel lymph node was compared with that of the whole axilla. RESULTS: The sentinel lymph node was identified in 371 (98.7%) of the 376 patients and accurately predicted the state of the axilla in 359 (95.5%) of the patients, with 12 false-negative findings (6.7%; 95% confidence interval = 3.5%-11.4%) among a total of 180 patients with positive axillary lymph nodes. CONCLUSIONS: Sentinel lymph node biopsy using a gamma ray-detecting probe allows staging of the axilla with high accuracy in patients with primary breast cancer. A randomized trial is necessary to determine whether axillary dissection may be avoided in those patients with an uninvolved sentinel lymph node.  (+info)

Initial experience with sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer at the National Cancer Center Hospital East. (3/902)

BACKGROUND: Axillary lymph node dissection is an important procedure in the surgical treatment of breast cancer. Axillary lymph node dissection is still performed in over half of breast cancer patients having histologically negative nodes, regardless of the morbidity in terms of axillary pain, numbness and lymphedema. The first regional lymph nodes draining a primary tumor are the sentinel lymph nodes. Sentinel node biopsy is a promising surgical technique for predicting histological findings in the remaining axillary lymph nodes, especially in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer, and a worldwide feasibility study is currently in progress. METHODS: Intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy were performed in the axilla by subcutaneous injection of blue dye (indigocarmine) in 88 cases of stage 0-IIIB breast cancer. Sentinel lymph nodes were identified by detecting blue-staining lymph nodes or dye-filled lymphatic tracts after total or partial mastectomy. Finally, axillary lymph node dissection was performed up to Levels I and II or more. RESULTS: Sentinel lymph nodes were successfully identified in 65 of the 88 cases (74%). In the final histological examination, the sentinel lymph nodes in 40 cases were negative, including four cases with non-sentinel-node-positive breast cancer (specificity, 100%; sensitivity, 86%). In nine (31%) of the 29 cases with histologically node-positive breast cancer, the sentinel lymph nodes were the only lymph nodes affected. Axillary lymph node status was accurately predicted in 61 (94%) of the 65 cases. CONCLUSIONS: Although it was the initial experience at the National Cancer Center Hospital East, sentinel node biopsy proved feasible and successful. This method may be a reasonable alternative to the standard axillary lymph node dissection in patients with early breast cancer.  (+info)

Clinical course of breast cancer patients with complete pathologic primary tumor and axillary lymph node response to doxorubicin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. (4/902)

PURPOSE: To assess patient and tumor characteristics associated with a complete pathologic response (pCR) in both the breast and axillary lymph node specimens and the outcome of patients found to have a pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three hundred seventy-two LABC patients received treatment in two prospective neoadjuvant trials using four cycles of doxorubicin-containing chemotherapy. Patients had a total mastectomy with axillary dissection or segmental mastectomy and axillary dissection followed by four or more cycles of additional chemotherapy. Patients then received irradiation treatment of the chest-wall or breast and regional lymphatics. Median follow-up was 58 months (range, 8 to 99 months). RESULTS: The initial nodal status, age, and stage distribution of patients with a pCR were not significantly different from those of patients with less than a pCR (P>.05). Patients with a pCR had initial tumors that were more likely to be estrogen receptor (ER)-negative (P<.01), and anaplastic (P = .01) but of smaller size (P<.01) than those of patients with less than a pCR. Upon multivariate analysis, the effects of ER status and nuclear grade were independent of initial tumor size. Sixteen percent of the patients in this study (n = 60) had a pathologic complete primary tumor response. Twelve percent of patients (n = 43) had no microscopic evidence of invasive cancer in their breast and axillary specimens. A pathologic complete primary tumor response was predictive of a complete axillary lymph node response (P<.01 ). The 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates were significantly higher in the group who had a pCR (89% and 87%, respectively) than in the group who had less than a pCR (64% and 58%, respectively; P<.01). CONCLUSION: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has the capacity to completely clear the breast and axillary lymph nodes of invasive tumor before surgery. Patients with LABC who have a pCR in the breast and axillary nodes have a significantly improved disease-free survival rate. However, a pCR does not entirely eliminate recurrence. Further efforts should focus on elucidating the molecular mechanisms associated with this response.  (+info)

How to improve low lymph node recovery rates from axillary clearance specimens of breast cancer. A short-term audit. (5/902)

AIM: To implement an audit scheme to increase the lymph node yield from axillary clearance specimens. METHODS: Two pathologists cut up each specimen after weighing it. The number of nodes and the dimensions of the largest and smallest nodes were recorded, together with the number of non-lymph node structures recovered. Fifty consecutive audited cases were compared with 50 consecutive cases assessed before the audit process. RESULTS: It proved possible to increase the median number of lymph nodes from 10 to 22. There was an obvious learning period, during which the number of nodes recovered during the second pathologist's cut-up gradually decreased, while the total number remained relatively constant. The increase in lymph node yield resulted from the recovery of smaller nodes. The identification of lymph nodes also improved, and fewer non-lymph node structures were recovered by the end of the study. CONCLUSIONS: Such an audit scheme can be recommended for all institutions where the lymph node yield of axillary clearance specimens seems suboptimal. The relevance of recovering more nodes remains to be determined; from this small series, it seems to have no clinical impact.  (+info)

Do all patients with sentinel node metastasis from breast carcinoma need complete axillary node dissection? (6/902)

OBJECTIVE: To determine the likelihood of nonsentinel axillary metastasis in the presence of sentinel node metastasis from a primary breast carcinoma. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Sentinel lymphadenectomy is a highly accurate technique for identifying axillary metastasis from a primary breast carcinoma. Our group has shown that nonsentinel axillary lymph nodes are unlikely to contain tumor cells if the axillary sentinel node is tumor-free, but as yet no study has examined the risk of nonsentinel nodal involvement when the sentinel node contains tumor cells. METHODS: Between 1991 and 1997, axillary lymphadenectomy was performed in 157 women with a tumor-involved sentinel node. Fifty-three axillae (33.5%) had at least one tumor-involved nonsentinel node. The authors analyzed the incidence of nonsentinel node involvement according to clinical and tumor characteristics. RESULTS: Only two variables had a significant impact on the likelihood of nonsentinel node metastasis: the size of the sentinel node metastasis and the size of the primary tumor. The rate of nonsentinel node involvement was 7% when the sentinel node had a micrometastasis (< or =2 mm), compared with 55% when the sentinel node had a macrometastasis (>2 mm). In addition, the rate of nonsentinel node tumor involvement increased with the size of the primary tumor. CONCLUSIONS: If a primary breast tumor is small and if sentinel node involvement is micrometastatic, then tumor cells are unlikely to be found in other axillary lymph nodes. This suggests that axillary lymph node dissection may not be necessary in patients with sentinel node micrometastases from T1/T2 lesions, or in patients with sentinel node metastases from T1a lesions.  (+info)

The results of thoracoscopic sympathetic trunk transection for palmar hyperhidrosis and sympathetic ganglionectomy for axillary hyperhidrosis. (7/902)

OBJECTIVES: To review our total experience of thoracoscopic sympathetic trunk transection for the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis and second and third thoracic sympathetic ganglionectomy for axillary hyperhidrosis. DESIGN: Longitudinal cohort study following up consecutive patients for 0.3 to 5.5 years. SUBJECTS: Fifty-four consecutive patients undergoing thoracoscopic sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis. METHODS: Prospective evaluation of immediate technical success, complications, late recurrence of hyperhidrosis and patient acceptability. RESULTS: 100% initial cure for palmar hyperhidrosis, 91% of sympathetic ganglionectomies for axillary hyperhidrosis were technically successful and initially curative. Compensatory sweating 44% patients, most severe after bilateral sympathetic ganglionectomy. Complications occurred in 14% patients, all resolving without further intervention. There were no cases of Horner's syndrome. 13% patients reported a return of some palmar sweating. 5.4% patients developed recurrent palmar hyperhidrosis at 6, 15 and 21 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Transection of the sympathetic trunk between the first and second thoracic sympathetic ganglia initially cures 100% of patients treated primarily for palmar hyperhidrosis. Technically successful 2nd and 3rd thoracic sympathetic ganglionectomy initially cures 100% of patients with axillary hyperhidrosis. Compensatory sweating is common after bilateral sympathectomy. Recurrent palmar hyperhidrosis occurs in 5.4% of cases, but can be cured by a second thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Horner's syndrome is an avoidable complication of thoracoscopic sympathectomy.  (+info)

Isolated and combined lesions of the axillary nerve. A review of 146 cases. (8/902)

We have assessed the final strength of the deltoid in 121 patients who had repair of isolated or combined lesions of the axillary (circumflex) nerve and were available for statistical analysis. Successful or useful results were achieved in 85% after grafting of isolated lesions. The strength was statistically better when patients had grafting of the axillary nerve within 5.3 months from the time of injury. The dramatic decrease in the rate of success seen with longer delays suggests that surgery should be undertaken within three months of injury. A statistically significant downward trend of the rate of success was noted with increasing age. The force and level of injury to the shoulder play an important role in the type, combination and level of nerve damage and the incidence of associated rotator-cuff, vascular and other injuries to the upper limb. Management of isolated and combined lesions of the axillary nerve after injury to the shoulder needs to be thorough and systematic.  (+info)

Axillary lymph node metastasis from colorectal carcinoma is extremely rare, and this scarcity hinders understanding of its pathogenesis and, thus, the application of appropriate management. Here, we present a case with axillary lymph node metastasis of cecal carcinoma associated with macroscopic invasion of the skin of the abdominal wall with histological evidence of such invasion, findings which support our hypothesis that the axillary lymph node metastasis developed via the lymph channels in the skin of the abdominal wall. A 76-year-old woman with cecal carcinoma (T4N1M0), complicated with an abdominal wall abscess, underwent right hemicolectomy with partial resection of the abdominal wall. Histology demonstrated multiple sites of lymphatic invasion in the skin. Two months later, an enlarged right axillary lymph node was noticed on CT, and an excisional biopsy was obtained, which later confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma. This is the first case report of axillary lymph node metastasis of carcinoma of
THE EFFECT OF LIMITED VERSUS EXTENDED AXILLARY LYMPH NODES DISSECTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF POST-MASTECTOMY MORBIDITY Ahmed N Abdulnabi MB,ChB, CABS, Specialist of General Surgery, AL-Fayhaa Teaching Hospital, Basrah, IRAQ. Abstract Breast cancer is a common malignancy in female, modified radical mastectomy is widely used for the management of this tumour. Axillary lymph nodes dissection is accompanied by frequent postoperative morbidity including wound infection, paresthesia, seroma and upper limb lymphedema. This is a comparative study that was conducted to evaluate the frequency of postoperative morbidity in a limited and extended axillary lymph nodes dissection. One hundred and fifty patients were treated by modified radical mastectomy for invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast between January 2008 and October 2015 in Al-Fayhaa Teaching Hospital. This sample was divided into two groups; the first fifty patients were managed with limited N1 axillary dissection while the other one hundred patients
TY - JOUR. T1 - The intraoperative examination of axillary sentinel nodes. AU - Viale, G.. PY - 2000. Y1 - 2000. N2 - Routine histological examination of axillary sentinel nodes predicts the nonsentinel axillary node status and may allow to spare axillary clearing in patients with breast cancer. To avoid the need for two separate surgical sessions the results of sentinel node examination should be known intraoperatively. Routine frozen section examination of sentinel nodes, however, is liable to yield false-negative results. An extensive intraoperative examination of frozen sentinel nodes which would attain a sensitivity comparable to that obtained by routine histological analysis has been therefore devised. The frozen sentinel nodes are subserially sectioned at 50 μm intervals. For each level one section is stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) and the other immunostained for cytokeratins using a rapid immunocytochemical assay. Immunocytochemistry did not increase the sensitivity of the ...

摘要Axillary lymph node status is crucial in the evaluation of prognosis and in treatment planning of breast cancer. High-resolution real-time sonographic scans of the breast and both axillae were performed on 114 patients with breast carcinoma, all of whom had axillary lymph node dissection and histologic assessment. The sensitivity of high-resolution ultrasonography in the detection of axillary nodal metastases was 84.1%, with a specificity of 97.1%, accuracy of 92.1%, positive predictive value of 94.9%, and negative predictive value 90.7%. Ultrasonography of the axilla provides good information on anatomy and pathology and may have a potential role in the prognostic work-up of patients who are not surgical candidates. ...

Background: Sentinel node SN biopsy has become accepted as a reliable method of predicting the state of the axilla in breast cancer. The key issue, however, is the accuracy of the pathological evaluat
This case report concerns a 40-year-old patient with an unspecific abdominal pain, diarrhoea, a huge axillary mass and a previous pulmonary infection. display A 40-years-old guy in a poor scientific condition was received on the er in a Medical center in S?o Paulo, Brazil. He offered abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea and a brief history of previous pulmonary contamination and weight loss (8 kg). His body temperature was 37C. The examination verified the presence of a big right axillary mass, left inguinal-umbilical and left iliac pain, suggesting pulmonary and intestinal Ki16425 infections. Investigations Ultrasound of the axillary Ki16425 mass showed a diffuse inflammatory response (physique 1) and in the stomach suggested a diverticulitis. Physique 1 Right axillary mass C lymph node of 3.5 cm of diameter C with blood flow slightly increased when seen in colour-Doppler. Since the patient had abdominal pain and a history of pulmonary contamination, thoracic and abdominal CT scans were done to ...
A generally accepted tenet of management of solid tumor malignancies-including adenocarcinoma of the breast-is that most bulky/clinically evident sites of disease are best managed by surgical resection, with radiation treatment reserved for microscopic, clinically occult foci of soft tissue disease. The goal of systemic therapy is to eradicate distant organ disease. Clearly, however, there will be overlap in the results achieved by these modalities of cancer care, and these effects can influence the extent of necessary surgery as well as the sequence of delivering these components of cancer care. For example, a patient that initially presents with bulky axillary lymph nodes will likely require an anatomically defined level I/II axillary lymph node dissection, and this surgery may be performed as initial primary treatment as long as there is no evidence of unresectable disease that would place the axillary neurovascular structures at risk for intraoperative damage. However, these patients will ...

Risk factors for chronic pain after breast cancer surgery include axillary lymph node dissection, younger age, and radiation therapy. Only axillary lymph node dissection is a high-yield target for a modifiable risk factor to prevent the persistent pain after breast cancer surgery.
Breast cancers with 10 or more positive lymph nodes at the time of diagnosis are staged as pathological N3a (pN3a) and they have poor prognosis. Recent studies showed five-year disease-free survival (
We found high-quality evidence that younger age, radiotherapy, axillary lymph node dissection and greater acute postoperative pain were associated with persistent pain after breast cancer surgery, and we found moderate-quality evidence for an association with preoperative pain. The strongest of these associations was with axillary lymph node dissection, with an absolute increase in risk of persistent pain of 21%. High-quality evidence showed that BMI, type of breast surgery, chemotherapy and endocrine therapy were not associated with persistent pain (Table 1). Investigators have tested 68 additional predictors that could not be statistically pooled (Appendices 10 and 11). Preliminary evidence suggested that 2 of these predictors may warrant additional study: overall comorbidity and radiotherapy dosage.. The most recent systematic review that explored risk factors for persistent pain after breast cancer surgery identified 8 studies that met our eligibility criteria.5 That review presented a ...
The approach towards axillary surgery should be selective and flexible, with its management tailored to patient choice and tumour characteristics, and concordant with local practice guidelines and available resources. Sentinel-lymphnode biopsy has been embraced as a standard of care in many centres around the world and has revolutionised management of the axilla during the past decade. Nonetheless, data for long-term outcomes remain scarce, and there are persistent variations in practice and inconsistencies in methodology. An international perspective has been sought on important issues relating to management of the axilla, which includes not only the indications and techniques for sentinel-lymph-node biopsy, but also lymph-node sampling, axillary-lymph-node dissection, and observation alone. In this Review, we initially present an overview, which focuses on biological models of lymphatic networks within the breast and patterns of tumour dissemination. A set of key questions are posed with ...
Introduction The presence of tumor cells in the axillary lymph nodes is the most important prognostic factor in early stage breast cancer. (EMT). Outcomes Both EpCAM and Mucin 1 overflowing for the epithelial-marker conveying cells. Nevertheless, EpCAM-IMS recognized epithelial cells in 71 SLNs, whereas just 35 examples had been positive with RT-PCR focusing on breasts epithelial transcripts. Additional evaluation of EpCAM positive but RT-PCR bad cell fractions demonstrated that they experienced improved manifestation of GANT 58 MMPs, repressors of E-cadherin, Vimentin and SPARC, all transcripts connected with the procedure of epithelial to mesenchymal changeover. Findings The EpCAM IMS-assay recognized growth cells with epithelial and mesenchymal-like features, therefore showing to become a even more strong gun than real epithelial produced biomarkers. This getting offers medical ramifications, today rely on the recognition of epithelial transcripts or protein while most strategies for SLN ...
Background: The American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z0011 prospective randomized trial demonstrated no local control or survival advantage with more extensive axillary surgery, even in the setting of known axillary disease. These results convincingly showed that axillary surgery provides little, if any, therapeutic benefit. Given that axillary surgery is not associated with local control or survival benefit, the current role of sentinel lymph node (SLNB) is limited to staging the axilla (in other words, SLNB provides staging information but is not therapeutic).. Objectives: In this randomized, controlled non-inferiority trial we aim to determine the utility of axillary ultrasound (AUS) as a pre-operative staging modality for patients with clinically node-negative invasive breast cancer with the hope that it will be a minimally invasive replacement for SLNB.. 1. Primary Objective: To assess whether axillary recurrence rates for patients randomized to Arm 1 (no SLNB) is equivalent to ...

NON-COMPLIANCE WITH HORMONAL THERAPY FOR BREAST CANCER AND RISK OF DEATH. The management of breast cancer today bears little resemblance to the way that we managed this most common cancer among women when I entered medical school in the early 1980s. Back then, both early-stage and advanced breast cancers were managed with a standard one-size-fits-all approach that included removal of the entire breast (mastectomy) and most of the lymph nodes in the armpit area (axillary lymph node dissection). Twenty-five years ago, most women with breast cancer also received chemotherapy, while hormonal therapy for many premenopausal women with breast cancer consisted of the surgical removal of both ovaries (oopherectomy). In 2010, 85 to 90 percent of women are eligible to undergo breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). Radical removal of the armpit lymph nodes has also become unnecessary for the majority of women with newly diagnosed breast cancer, as approximately two-thirds of women will be found to ...

Introduction To measure the radiation exposure to the surgeon during axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy using the radioactive isotope technetium-99m. Method A prospective analysis of 36 patients undergoing axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy using technetium-99m, between 15th January 2013 to the 20th February 2013.. Results The exposure to the surgeon during axillary sentinel lymph node dissection was measured in 36 patients by placing a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) on the surgeons finger. The TLDs recorded the total radiation exposure to the surgeon. The recommended occupational dose limit for non radiation workers extremity exposure is less than 500 μSv. The analysed and extrapolated data showed an average exposure dose to the surgeon per patient of 2.7 μSv. Conclusion One surgeon would need to perform more than 85 such procedures per year in order to exceed the advised annual extremity dose limit. The data also suggests that regular measurements of radiation exposure and radiation ...
BACKGROUND: Sentinel lymph node biopsy in women with operable breast cancer is routinely used in some countries for staging the axilla despite limited data from randomized trials on morbidity and mortality outcomes. We conducted a multicenter randomized trial to compare quality-of-life outcomes between patients with clinically node-negative invasive breast cancer who received sentinel lymph node biopsy and patients who received standard axillary treatment. METHODS: The primary outcome measures were arm and shoulder morbidity and quality of life. From November 1999 to October 2003, 1031 patients were randomly assigned to undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy (n = 515) or standard axillary surgery (n = 516). Patients with sentinel lymph node metastases proceeded to delayed axillary clearance or received axillary radiotherapy (depending on the protocol at the treating institution). Intention-to-treat analyses of data at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery are presented. All statistical tests were ...

Objective:. The role of axillary staging and natural history in microinvasive breast cancer (MIC) is not well known. This study assesses outcome in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) with microinvasion who did not undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB).. Methods:. A retrospective analysis of DCIS with microinvasion (DCISM) patients surgically treated at the Asan Medical Center from March, 2003 to December, 2009 was conducted. Bilateral breast cancer patients and patients who underwent node dissection were excluded from the study. SNB was performed in most of DCIS patients after surgery when microinvasion was found, but in some patients with clinically negative axillary lymph node metastasis, SNB was omitted.. Results:. A total of 185 consecutive patients with DCISM were identified. Thirty-three patients did not undergo SNB [SNB(-) group], while 152 patients did [SNB(+) group]. No recurrence occurred in the SNB(-) group during a median follow-up period of 63.5 months, while one ...

Price of a print issue €25.00. BACKGROUND: Axillary lymphadenectomy or sentinel biopsy is integral part of breast cancer treatment, yet seroma formation occurs in 15-85% of cases. Among methods employed to reduce seroma magnitude and duration, fibrin glue has been proposed in numerous studies with controversial results. METHODS: Eighty patients underwent quadrantectomy or mastectomy with level I/II axillary lymphadenectomy; a suction drain was fitted in all patients. Fibrin glue spray were applied to the axillary fossa in 40 patients; the other 40 patients were treated conventionally. RESULTS: Suction drainage was removed between post-operative Days 3 and 4. Seroma magnitude and duration were significantly reduced (p=0.004 and 0.02, respectively), and there were fewer evacuative punctures, in patients receiving fibrin glue compared with the conventional treatment group. CONCLUSIONS: Use of fibrin glue does not always prevent seroma formation, but does reduce seroma magnitude, duration and ...
Lymph nodes move and filter fluids between body tissues and the bloodstream. Because of this, cancer cells often spread to the lymph nodes. An axillary lymph node dissection is surgery to remove lymph nodes from under your arm.. This surgery is usually done during your lumpectomy or mastectomy. During this surgery, your doctor will remove lymph nodes that have cancer and those that cancer could easily spread to. This surgery reduces the chance that the cancer could come back. It also helps your doctor plan further treatment for you.. After the surgery, you may go home the same day. Or you may need to spend the night at the hospital. You will probably be able to go back to work or your normal routine in 3 to 6 weeks. This depends on the type of work you do and any other treatment you may need.. After your lymph nodes are removed, you will be at greater risk for swelling in your arm. This is called lymphedema. You will have to take good care of your affected arm. Your doctor or physiotherapist ...
SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Data presented this week on wire-free radar breast localization demonstrated it may be a practical approach for positive axillary lymph node localization prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment (NAT) response. The poster presented preliminary data from a subset analysis of an investigator-initiated, prospective study, documenting that among 24 node-positive patients, 100 percent had successful wire-free localization (WFL) placement with 0.0 mm migration throughout NAT on standard-of-care preoperative surveillance imaging (mammogram, ultrasound, MRI and PET/CT). Both the target lymph node and WFL were visualized on MRI and PET/CT imaging. WFL successfully supplemented sentinel lymph node surgery in the surgical cases completed to date (14/14).. This subset analysis suggests that placement of a wire-free radar localization implant prior to NAT can be performed long-term prior to neoadjuvant treatment response when the lesion is clearly visualized ...

N2 - Purpose: We previously reported that most of axillary regions could be irradiated by the modified tangential irradiation technique (MTIT). The purpose of this study was to determine whether the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) with a field-in-field technique improves dosimetry for the breast and axillary nodes. Methods and Materials: Fifty patients with left-sided breast cancer were enrolled. With MTIT, we planned the radiation field to be wider in the cranial direction than the standard tangential fields to include the axillary regions. With 3D-CRT, a field-in-field technique was used to spare the heart and contralateral breast to ...
But research has shown that women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer with a positive sentinel node who have no further treatment do just as well as women who have axillary node dissection. They also had a lower risk of lymphedema. The AMAROS trial results also support the idea that no more surgery is needed if the sentinel node is positive: the researchers found that axillary radiation causes less lymphedema than axillary surgery. Results from this same study presented in July 2013 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting also found that axillary radiation reduces recurrence risk about the same amount as axillary lymph node surgery. Lymphedema is the swelling of the soft tissues caused by a build-up of lymph fluid. Depending on the type of surgery and other treatments a person has, its possible for lymphedema to occur in the arm, hand, breast, trunk, or abdomen. The swelling can be accompanied by pain, tightness, numbness, and sometimes infection. Lymphedema can happen ...

Case Presentation: A 54 year old man with no known past medical history who presented with complaints of shortness of breath and a new axillary mass for the last three weeks. He previously moved from Kenya 6 years prior with no recent travel. As his mass grew, he began to experience increasing fatigue and shortness of breath. On admission, he was found to have hypotension, tachycardia, subjective fevers and bandemia. He was cachect with mild ascites with a large nonfluctuant left axillary mass. The mass was tender to palpation with no drainage or sinus tracts. CT showed a 9.1×9.4×15.1cm complex cystic mass that encased the left axillary artery, innumerable hypodense lesions in spleen, kidney and lungs, and cirrhotic liver with ascites. He tested HIV-1+ with a CD4 count of 2cell/mcL and a viral load of 1,540,000 copies/mL. FNA aspiration of his axillary mass showed 10mL of pus, thick brown fluid and AFB+ for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He was AFB+ on bronchiolar lavage and determined to have ...
BACKGROUND Some clinicopathological features play roles in the spread of breast cancer to axillary lymph node (ALN). However, their roles as predictive factors are not well-established. This study was conducted to determine the correlation between the clinicopathological features of breast cancer and the risk of ALN involvement in Indonesian women.. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in Margono Soekarjo Hospital using archival data from January 2017 to June 2018. All subjects with breast cancer who had undergone modified radical mastectomies without any evidence of distant metastasis were included. Chi-square and Fishers exact tests were performed to assess the relationship between ALN involvement and age, menopausal status, laterality, tumor size, tumor stage, histological type, tumor grade, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), skin or nipple infiltration, perineural invasion, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status. The odds ...
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a rapidly emerging treatment option for patients with early-stage invasive breast cancer and a clinically negative axilla. In the era of mammographic detection, SLN biopsy has the potential to eliminate axillary dissection for the enlarging cohort of breast cancer patients who are node-negative. Using radioisotope, blue dye, or both methods, experienced surgeons can successfully localize SLNs in more than 90% of cases. The effects of isotope and blue dye may be additive. Sentinel lymph node biopsy reliably predicts axillary node status in 98% of all patients and 95% of those who are node-positive. The operation is best learned under a formalized protocol in which a backup axillary dissection is performed to validate the technique during the surgeons early experience. Enhanced pathologic analysis, including serial sections and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, is an essential element of the procedure. In experienced hands, SLN biopsy has less morbidity and ...
There are two types of surgery to the axilla: axillary dissection/axillary clearance and sentinel node biopsy. Whether a woman has surgery to the armpit and the type of surgery recommended depends on how likely the surgeon thinks it is that there are cancer cells in the lymph nodes.The lymph nodes in the armpit (axilla) are often the first place that breast cancer will spread
Sentinel node biopsy utilizing Technetium-99m-labeled sulfur colloid is rapidly becoming a standard part of the surgical treatment of breast cancer. Although this method is effective in identifying sentinel lymph node(s) in the axilla, the non-tumor-specific nature of colloids necessitates removal of the node(s) for subsequent analysis. Tumor-specific radiotracers, such as positron-emitting Fluorine-18-labeled Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), have been used with positron emission tomography (PET) to successfully stage breast cancer. Thus, the use of FDG with a handheld probe optimized for detection of beta particles could perhaps help identify cancer-infiltrated nodes during axillary dissection. In this study the ability of a new solid-state beta-sensitive probe to identify tumor- infiltrated lymph nodes was investigated in a phantom study. The axilla and tumor-infiltrated lymph nodes were simulated with gelatin phantoms containing FDG concentrations commonly reported from PET studies. FDG uptake in ...
Objective: To evaluate the agreement between temperature measured at the axilla and rectum in children and young people. Design: A systematic review of studies comparing temperature measured at the axilla (test site) with temperature measured at the rectum (reference site) using the same type of measuring device at both sites in each patient. Devices were mercury or electronic thermometers or indwelling thermocouple probes.. Studies reviewed: 40 studies including 5528 children and young people from birth to 18 years.. Data extraction: Difference in temperature readings at the axilla and rectum.. Results: 20 studies (n=3201 (58%) participants) had sufficient data to be included in a meta-analysis. There was significant residual heterogeneity in both mean differences and sample standard deviations within the groups using different devices and within age groups. The pooled (random effects) mean temperature difference (rectal minus axillary temperature) for mercury thermometers was 0.25°C (95% ...
Importance: The results of the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z0011 (ACOSOG Z0011) trial were first reported in 2005 with a median follow-up of 6.3 years. Longer follow-up was necessary because the majority of the patients had estrogen receptor-positive tumors that may recur later in the disease course (the ACOSOG is now part of the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology). Objective: To determine whether the 10-year overall survival of patients with sentinel lymph node metastases treated with breast-conserving therapy and sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) alone without axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is noninferior to that of women treated with axillary dissection ...
The introduction of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has conveyed several new issues, such as the risk of false negativity, long-term consequences, the prognostic significance of micrometastases and whether ALND can be omitted in sentinel lymph node- (SLN) positive patients.. Archived SLN specimens from 50 false negative patients and 107 true negative controls were serially sectioned and stained with immunohistochemistry. The detection rate of previously unknown metastases did not differ between the false and the true negative patients. The risk of false negativity was higher in patients with multifocal or hormone receptor-negative tumours, or if only one SLN was found.. In a Swedish multicentre cohort, 2216 SLN-negative patients in whom ALND was omitted were followed up for a median of 65 months. The isolated axillary recurrence rate was only 1.0%, and the overall survival was high (93%).. The survival of 3369 breast cancer patients (2383 node-negative (pN0), 107 isolated tumour cells ...

The Z0011 trial demonstrated no difference in overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence in breast cancer patients with a positive sentinel lymph node (SLN) randomized to axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) or no further surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate locoregional recurrence in a nonrandomized group of SLN positive patients, in whom cALND was not performed, that were retrospectively categorized by the Z0011 eligibility criteria. From two hospital breast cancer databases consisting of 656 consecutive SLN positive breast cancer patients, 88 patients, who did not undergo cALND, were identified ...
Metastases that were 2 millimeters or less in diameter (micrometastases) in axillary lymph nodes detected on examination of a single section of the lymph nodes were associated with poorer disease-free and overall survival in breast cancer patients, according to a new study published online February 26 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

This study provides insight into the biological specificities of invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast (IMPC), an entity characterized by cell polarity inversion and frequent lymphovascular invasion and axillary lymph node metastasis compared to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Morphological review was combined with copy number analyses, genotyping (SNP6.0 Affymetrix), TP53 and PIK3CA sequencing and transcriptomic analysis in a series of 39 pure IMPC and the results were compared to those of 19 IDC with positive estrogen receptors, and positive axillary lymph node and lymphovascular invasion (ER+, N+, LVI+). The presence of numerous bi-nucleated cells was identified as a morphological pattern of IMPC. This specific trait was underlined by deregulation of the expression of genes involved in cell division. IMPC and IDC exhibit common genomic alterations including 8p-, 8q+, 16q-, 17p13- and 22q- and mutations of PIK3CA (10% for IMPC and 11% for IDC) and TP53 (13% in IMPC vs 33% in IDC). ...

Lets go back in time some 30 years and imagine, if you will, trying to explain this trial to a woman with breast cancer and persuade her to be randomized to have either a modified radical mastectomy (total mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection), a lumpectomy plus axillary dissection, or a lumpectomy with axillary dissection plus radiation. Remember, when a patient signs up for a trial like this, she agrees to accept whatever treatment to which she is randomized. In this case, that would mean not knowing whether the operation would be a lumpectomy or removal of the entire breast. Truly, women today with breast cancer owe a huge debt of gratitude to these women who agreed to such an arrangement because this trial showed conclusively that lumpectomy plus radiation therapy produced equivalent survival rates as modified radical mastectomy. Moreover, just the thought experiment of thinking how you might persuade a woman with a relatively small cancer to agree to be randomized to such a trial ...

PURPOSE: ACOSOG Z0011 established that axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is unnecessary in patients with breast cancer with one to two positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) who undergo lumpectomy, radiotherapy (RT), and systemic therapy. We sought to ascertain RT coverage of the regional nodes in that trial. METHODS: We evaluated case report forms completed 18 months after enrollment. From 2012 to 2013, we collected all available detailed RT records for central review. RESULTS: Among 605 patients with completed case report forms, 89% received whole-breast RT. Of these, 89 (15%) were recorded as also receiving treatment to the supraclavicular region. Detailed RT records were obtained for 228 patients, of whom 185 (81.1%) received tangent-only treatment. Among 142 with sufficient records to evaluate tangent height, high tangents (cranial tangent border /= three fields: 22 in the ALND arm and 21 in the SLND arm.

BACKGROUND: The sensitivity of axillary ultrasonography (AUS) has increased in recent years, enabling detection of even low-volume axillary nodal metastases. The aim here was to evaluate the axillary tumour burden in women with a fine-needle aspiration/core biopsy-proven positive node on AUS and in those with a positive sentinel node biopsy (SNB). METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included all patients with early breast cancer who had AUS and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) between 2011 and 2014. RESULTS: A total of 332 patients who had ALND were eligible for the study, 191 (57·5 per cent) in the AUS-positive group and 141 (42·5 per cent) in the SNB-positive group. Patients in the AUS-positive group were older at diagnosis (P = 0·018), more likely to have larger tumours (P = 0·002), higher tumour grade (P = 0·005), positive human epidermal growth factor 2 status (P = 0·015), and negative oestrogen receptor status (P < 0·001). The AUS-positive group also had a larger number of ...

Background: Metastases to breast and axilla from extramammary sites are uncommon and have been reported in only 2% of breast malignancies. Ovarian cancer metastatic to breast and axillary lymph nodes is extremely rare and only accounts for 0.03%-0.6% of all breast neoplasms. The most common histologic feature of ovarian cancer metastatic to breast is papillary serous adenocarcinoma. Differentiating the secondary breast malignancies from primary ones is crucial as the treatment and prognosis are different, which could avoid many unnecessary procedures.

This quick and minimally invasive procedure can assist the surgeon in determining what type of axillary surgery is best for patients with breast cancer. Unfortunately many centers do not routinely perform this procedure as there is not yet consensus on who will benefit from it, she said. The study consisted of USFNA of axillary lymph nodes in 224 breast cancer patients. The researchers measured the cortical thickness of each lymph node that was aspirated. They found that using a cortical thickness measurement of 3mm to determine who gets USFNA would result in the most optimum combination of diagnosing metastatic disease preoperatively while minimizing unnecessary USFNA. Patients in the study had primary tumor sizes ranging from 0-12 cm with a mean of 1.9cm and included 159 tumors that measured less than or equal to 2 cm and 65 tumors that were greater than 2 cm. The use of USFNA was positive in 52 patients (23%). If USFNA were limited only to axillary lymph nodes with a cortical thickness of 3 ...
