Today, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is used to assess for axillary nodal spread without subjecting the patient to a full ALND. Experience has shown us that the lymph ducts of the breast usually drain to one lymph node first, before draining to the remaining underarm nodes. This first...
"For most patients with invasive breast cancer, if the axillary ultrasound is negative, we perform a sentinel lymph node biopsy at the time of the breast operation to make sure cancer has not spread. When the preoperative axillary ultrasound shows suspicious lymph nodes, we then do a fine-need...
On the other hand, a soft, tender, moveable lymph node could more likely represent an infection. If the enlarged lymph nodes are suspected to be related to cancer, then a biopsy of the lymph node may determine the cancer type. For example, a swollen lymph node around the collar bone (...
UK, and was not involved in the research. He said: "Whether or not a breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes is a key indicator of a patient's prognosis. That's whysentinel lymph nodebiopsy has been an important part

lymph node n. Any of the small bodies located along the vessels of the lymphatic system (in humans notably in the neck, armpits, and groin) that filter bacteria and foreign particles from lymph fluid. During infection, lymph nodes may become swollen with activated lymphocytes. Also calledlymph...
Elastic scattering spectroscopy for intraoperative determination of sentinel lymph node status in the breast The ability to provide the best treatment for breast cancer depends on establishing whether or not the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm. ...

US-guided core needle biopsy under assistance of hydrodissection to diagnose small lymph node metastases adjacent to cervical large vessels Postoperative prophylactic radiotherapy for esophageal cancer cannot elevate the survival rate, but inhibit lymph node metastasis and raise the local control rate.8 In...
(deep nodes are usually not encountered in aesthetic surgery). In general, they should not affect an operative plan, unless they seem abnormal. In the cases in which a lymph node seems abnormal, excisional biopsies should be performed and location of the node clearly documented. These lymph ...
