When it comes to needle biopsy, it can be quite difficult to perform, especially for small lymph nodes of about one to two centimeters in size that are mobile and can be pushed away by a finger. Biopsying such lymph nodes is as challenging as hitting a target from a hundred paces.Moreo...
An examination of the lymph nodes of the neck is an essential part of thyroid US. In some cases the appearance of metastatic lymph nodes is the first clinical sign of thyroid cancer (Mack et al. 2008)doi:10.1007/978-3-642-12387-0_9Vladimir P. Kharchenko...
The examination of regional lymph nodes, especially of axillary area, is an obligatory part of breast US since the basic lymph outflow follows through the axillary collector. The clinical method of...Sencha, Alexander N.Yaroslavl Railway ClinicEvseeva, Elena V....
Because a preoperative surgical ultrasound can detect suspicious lymph nodes that could result in ultimately altering surgical management, we chose to study which variables were predictive of this change. Methods:Medical records of 173 patients who presented between January 2006 and December 2010 with ...
Researchers studied 1,331breast cancerpatientswho received ultrasounds of their axillarylymph nodes, the lymph nodes in the armpits, to check for cancer before surgery. Of those patients, 36 percent were considered obese, with abody mass indexof 30 or more. Body mass index is a formula that ...
Since the tumor growth depends on the formation of feeding vessels, color/power Doppler ultrasonography (US) has been used to evaluate the vascular flow images of lymph nodes (LNs) in order to differentiate benign LNs from malignant LNs or lymphoma from metastatic carcinoma. We performed color/po...
The study was carried out from January 1998 to December 1998, among patients with enlarged cervical lymph nodes who were scanned with a high frequency (5.0 MHz) curvilinear probe. Chi-Square test was done to see the statistical correlation between two groups of nodes. A p value of <0.05 ...
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether changes in lymph node size in the hepatoduodenal ligament reflect changes in biochemical and histologic markers of cholestasis, hepatocellular damage, and humoral immunoreactivity in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Methods: Twen...
Should internal mammary lymph nodes in breast cancer be a target for the radiation oncologist? Purpose: The elective treatment of internal mammary lymph nodes (IMNs) in breast cancer is controversial. Previous randomized trials have not shown a benef... GM Freedman,BL Fowble,N Nicolaou,... -...
OBJECTIVE: The differentiation between benign and metastatic lymph nodes with ultrasound (US) is based primarily on the evaluation of size, shape, margin and internal echo structure. The aim of this study is to determine whether these parameters are reliable indicators and to correlate internal echo...
