Objective Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLN) using blue dye and radioisotope is a widely used tool in the staging of breast cancer. However, multiple SLNs are frequently found. We sought to determine whether there is safe number of SLNs at which to stop the procedure without affecting accuracy...
Sentinel node biopsy performed before preoperative chemotherapy for axillary lymph node staging in breast cancer. Sentinel node (SN) biopsy following preoperative chemotherapy (pCT) in breast cancer patients is associated with a lower identification rate (IR) and an in... P Schrenk,C Tausch,E Gra...
A new diagnostic imaging tool in PET/computed tomography (CT) is the use of radiolabeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI). SGHI uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deeper into the tissue, providing a more detailed view of the tumor microenvironment. Artificial intelligence ...
