We present a case of a patient with breast cancer with clinically negative axillary node and histologically negative sentinel biopsy. Intraoperatively, she had highly suspicious palpable level I and II axillary nodes though the sentinel biopsy wound, of which 9 out of 11 nodes removed were ...

Sentinel node biopsy has become the standard practice for lymph node staging in early stage breast cancer. However, uncertainty remains regarding the best method of radiotracer/dye injection. Currently, the subareolar injection is being widely used because of its technical simplicity and higher rates...
ObjectiveTo study how to decrease the false negative rate in sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB) in breast cancer.MethodsFrom January 2002 to December 2003,94 breast cancer patients underwent SLNB by injecting patent blue and axillary lymph node dissection(ALND),which was followed by routine pathologica...
1,2 Given this fact, it is surprising that more attention has not been paid to the issue of false-negative results of sentinel node biopsy. In the current issue of Annals of Surgical Oncology, Scoggins et al. report on the false-negative rate of sentinel node biopsy from a large series ...

The MDT decision was that this represented a true negative (nonmalignant) biopsy given the needle position and CT appearances of consolidation. A follow-up radiograph (right) after steroid treatment revealed almost complete resolution of the consolidation. CT, computed tomography; MDT, multidisciplinary...
b> Introduction: Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) has been proposed as an alternative method for the staging of patients with node-positive breast cancer who undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However, not much is known yet about the false-negative rate (FNR) of the method and the subsequent ris...
One of the concerns of using sentinel node biopsy (SNB) is the risks of a false-negative result (FNR). We have created a mathematical model to estimate the... JS Vaidya,JA Dewar,DC Brown… - 《Breast Cancer Research Bcr》 被引量: 24发表: 2005年 Causes of false-negative sentinel node...
