New procedure may reduce lymph node removal in breast cancer surgeryDANIEL Q. HANEY AP Medical Editor
The removal of lymph nodes to determine the etiology of their enlargement has been practiced for many years, but it is unknown when it was first performed. This procedure is often performed by general adult and pediatric surgeons, as well as by surgical specialists such as otolaryngologists. ...
An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Extended Lymph Node Dissection in Patients with Gastric Cancer: A Retrospective Study of 1403 Cases at a Single Insti... Background. Many investigators have reported that extended lymph node dissection (D2 dissection) is probably an effective procedure. However...
This will include bioimpedance, a 3D volume scan, and an indocyanine green lymphography of all four extremities to visualize and assess my lymphatic function.I feel optimistic: Whether it’s SAPL, LVA, or vascularized lymph node transfer surgery, I know a lot of people in the community who’v...
A Computerized System to Assess Axillary Lymph Node Malignancy from Sonographic Images 2015, Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology Citation Excerpt : SNLB includes the removal and pathologic analysis of multiple lymph nodes and has false-negative rates ranging from 5.6% to 29.6% (Xing et al. 2006),...
Lymph Node Groups and Lymphatic Trunks The lymph of the legs, lower trunk quadrant, and genitals flows toward the inguinal lymph nodes. After passing the inguinal band, the lymph vessels run parallel to the large blood vessels. The lymph nodes are connected like pearls on a chain along the ...
In patients who had a second sentinel-lymph-node biopsy procedure after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (arm B), the detection rate was 60.8% (95% CI 55.6-65.9; 219 of 360) and the false-negative rate was 51.6% (95% CI 38.7-64.2; 33 of 64).Interpretation Sentinel-lymph-node biopsy is a ...

Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection The removal ofretroperitoneal lymph nodesentails a careful dissection around the aorta andinferior vena cava, including the retroperitoneal postganglionic sympathetic nerves. These nerves overlie the aorta and join to form thehypogastric plexusin the pelvis. The ampulla...
Lymph node (LN) status is an essential prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC) patients, with an important role in the surgical and therapeutic plan. Recently, we have been developed a novel system for real-time intra-operative electrical LN scanning in BC patients. The ELS scores were calibr...
