Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymphadenectomy has become an important tool for
axillary lymph node staging in women with early-stage breast cancer. This review examines …

Abstract Background The randomized EORTC 10981-22023 AMAROS trial investigates
whether breast cancer patients with a tumor-positive sentinel node biopsy (SNB) are best …

Lymphatic vessels play a major role in cancer progression and in postsurgical lymphedema,
and several new therapeutic approaches targeting lymphatics are currently being …

Abstract Background Some 30% to 40% of the breast cancer patients scheduled for sentinel
node biopsy have axillary metastasis. Pilot studies suggest that ultrasonography is useful in …

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the feasibility and accuracy of sentinel node (SN)
mapping and its ability to predict the status of the regional nodal basin. METHODS: From …

OBJECTIVE: In esophageal cancer, selective removal of involved lymph nodes could
improve survival and limit complications from extended lymphadenectomy. Mapping with …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of the sentinel node procedure in
patients with vulvar cancer, a multicenter study was launched in Germany in 2003 involving …

Background Understanding lymph drainage patterns of the peritoneum could assist in
staging and treatment of gastrointestinal and ovarian malignancies. Sentinel lymph nodes …

Summary Background Data: Previous studies have suggested a variety of factors that may
affect the false negative (FN) rate for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in breast cancer …

BACKGROUND: Although sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is widely accepted as a
minimally invasive method of nodal staging, failure to identify an SLN mandates a level I/II …
