Sentinel pelvic lymph node dissection is a radioisotope-guided technique that has been developed for the detection of potential lymph node metastases. In this Viewpoint, Professor Janetschek discusses ...

Non-Overlapping and Non–Cell-Type–Specific Gene Expression Signatures Predict Lung Cancer Survival A multicenter observational study on sentinel node detection using radioactive tracer and blue dye ...

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 ...

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 ...

The concept of skipping axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in some patients with breast cancer was supported by a European noninferiority trial. Among patients with early-stage, node-negative ...

Skipping standard axillary lymph node dissection led to very low rates of axillary recurrence in patients with node-positive breast cancer who became node-negative following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, ...

SAN ANTONIO -- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy that downstaged positive lymph nodes to negative led to a low rate of invasive breast cancer recurrence with either targeted axillary dissection (TAD) or ...

Patients with breast cancer may be able to avoid lymphedema, which can occur after surgery to remove lymph nodes in the ...

Ten-year findings suggest some patients may safely receive less treatment, potentially lowering side effects without raising recurrence risk.

Dye is injected into the breast, one to four of the nodes is identified with a probe and removed to see if cancer cells are present. Lymph nodes are small organs, typically ranging from the size of a ...
