Sentinel-lymph-node biopsy is associated with increased melanoma-specific survival (i.e., until death from melanoma) among patients node-positive intermediate-thickness melanomas (1.2 to 3.5 mm). The value of completion lymph-node dissection for sentinel-node metastases not clear.
Background: Cutaneous melanoma spreads preferentially through the lymphatic route and sentinel lymph node (SLN) status is regarded as most important predictor of survival. Aims: To evaluate whether tumour lymphangiogenesis expression vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) related to risk SLN metastasis clinical outcome in a case–control series patients with melanoma. Methods: Forty five invasive specimens (15 cases 30 matched controls) were investigated by immunostaining for marker...
Localization of sentinel lymph nodes can be challenging if they are in difficult anatomic locations or near high radiotracer activity. The purpose this study was to assess the value intraoperative real-time imaging using a portable γ-camera conjunction with conventional γ-counting probe when it is localize node. <b>Methods:</b> After <sup>99m</sup>Tc-nanocolloid injection, patients various malignancies underwent presurgical lymphoscintigraphy followed by surgery (usually next day). We...
To evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) in preterm neonates at discharge and identify the optimum cutoff values for serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) phosphorus (P) concentrations to diagnose severity of metabolic disease prematurity.A total 336 (≤ 31 weeks' gestation birth weight ≤ 1500 g) were prospectively evaluated BMD before using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.BMD reference (at ALP 500 IU/L) measured 279 patients. was classified as poor (<10th percentile) <0.068 g/cm(2), fair...
<h3>Importance</h3> Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a standard staging procedure for cutaneous melanoma. Regional disease control clinically important therapeutic goal of surgical intervention, including nodal surgery. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine how frequently SLN without completion dissection (CLND) results in long-term regional patients with metastases. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> The second Multicenter Selective Lymphadenectomy Trial (MSLT-II), prospective...
The sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is probably the most well-known radioguided technique in surgical oncology. Today SLN reduces morbidity associated with lymphadenectomy and increases identification rate of occult lymphatic metastases by offering pathologist nodes highest probability containing metastatic cells. These advantages may result a change clinical management both melanoma breast cancer patients. evaluation pathology currently implies tumor burden stratification for further...
Abstract Mitotic rate is no longer considered a staging criterion for thin melanoma in the 8th edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual. The aim this observational study was to identify prognostic factors and predictors significance sentinel lymph node (SLN) involvement large multicenter cohort patients with from nine tertiary care hospitals. A total 4249 consecutive diagnosed January 1, 1998 December 31, 2016 were included. main outcomes disease‐free interval...
