Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in a Resource Limited Setting: A Retrospective Comparison of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy before and after the introduction of SentiMag at an Academic Breast Unit
Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is performed for the staging and prognostication of breast cancer in cases with a clinically and radiologically negative axilla. Using blue dye and a radioactive colloid injection is considered the gold standard for SLNB. This study aims to evaluate the …

Analysis of clinical and pathological outcomes of sentinel lymph node biopsy in the SNAC Trial.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) has become the standard procedure to assess the status of the lymphatic drainage in early stages of breast cancer. Currently, SLNB has replaced Complete Axillary Dissection (CAD) when the lymph nodes are clinically negative. The detection of a Sentinel Lymph Node …

Sentinel node biopsy for the clinically N₊ & N₀ neck in squamous carcinoma of the head and neck
… of the study were to determine the accuracy of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC); to determine its role in the approach to the clinically N+ neck in a Developing World setting; and its accuracy as an indicator of regional lymph node status in the …

Lymph node metastasis in auricular squamous cell carcinoma
… of the auricle has an unusually high rate of lymph node metastases when compared to similar tumours at other sites. The lymph nodes affected are close to the base of the skull and in the neck. Development of metastasis carries a poor prognosis and most patients will subsequently die of failure …

Goggle Augmented Imaging and Navigation System for Fluorescence-Guided Surgery
… usually involves tumor resection and sentinel lymph node biopsy for cancer staging. Surgeons rely on their vision and touch to distinguish healthy from cancer tissue during surgery, often leading to incomplete tumor resection that necessitates repeat surgery. Sentinel lymph node biopsy …

Innovating surgery for oral squamous cell carcinoma with targeted fluorescent and magnetic tracers
… its high propensity to metastasise to regional lymph nodes (LN)s. It is well-established that margin status and the presence of LN metastases are two of the most important factors affecting prognosis. While patient and tumour factors cannot be changed after presentation, margin control during …

Periocular malignancy.
… from interventions such as strict regional node surveillance or sentinel lymph node biopsy. Once surgical excision is performed, the primary goal of eyelid reconstruction is ocular protection. Due to the unique structure of the eyelid, reconstruction of significant defects must replace both …

Tissue Oxygen Imaging for Non-invasive Metastasis Detection
… treatment plans and improving survival rates. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is the gold standard for metastasis detection for many cancers. It involves injecting a blue dye called methylene blue and/or a radiocolloid at the primary tumor site and identifying the lymph nodes to which it drains. …

Single-sided magnetic nanoparticles imaging scanner for early detection of breast cancer
… in the detection of MNPs, which could help in sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer diagnosis.

Completion Lymph Node Dissection or Observation for Melanoma Sentinel Lymph Node Metastases: A Decision Analysis
… To determine whether melanoma patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases should undergo completion lymph node dissection (CLND). Background: Randomized trial results comparing CLND with observation for patients with SLN metastases are not available. Methods: We developed a Markov …
