Controversies and inconsistencies regarding the pathological work-up of sentinel lymph
nodes (SNs) led the European Working Group for Breast Screening Pathology (EWGBSP) to …

Aims: To evaluate aspects of the current practice of sentinel lymph node (SLN) pathology in
breast cancer via a questionnaire based survey, to recognise major issues that the …

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become the preferred method of surgical
pathological nodal staging of early breast cancer by the end of the nineties. As the most …

Sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) are more likely to contain metastatic breast carcinoma than non-
SLNs. The limited number of SLNs compared with an axillary dissection has prompted more …

The sentinel node procedure is an adequate tool to identify lymph node metastasis in breast
cancer. Sentinel nodes are generally examined with greater attention mainly to exclude, as …

Aims—To evaluate in detail the extent to which step sectioning and immunohistochemical
examination of sentinel lymph nodes (SNs) in patients with breast cancer reveal additional …

Breast cancer staging, in particular N-stage changed most significantly due to the advanced
technique of sentinel lymph node biopsy two decades ago. Pathologists have more …

The sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the only focus of axillary metastasis in a significant
proportion of patients. In this single institutional study, clinicopathologic characteristics were …

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become an acceptable alternative to complete
axillary dissection to determine whether breast cancer has spread to axillary lymph nodes …

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy requires validation by a backup axillary dissection in a
defined series of cases before becoming standard practice, to establish individual and …
