    Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) Biopsy
    (2009) Panuwat Lertsithichai; ภาณุวัฒน์ เลิศสิทธิชัย; Mahidol University. Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital. Department of Surgery
    Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is an accepted method for evaluating cancer spread to the regional lymphatic system. The use of SLN biopsy has been validated, or studied, on many solid cancers, including those of the thyroid, breast... is an outstanding issue. Specifically, the clinical significance of "small volume" tumor involvement of the lymph nodes is unclear.

However, in the post neoadjuvant settings, sentinel lymph node biopsy can be done using a dual staining technique to decrease the false-negative rate (FNR) and increase... the detection rate. However, many hospitals are not equipped to use radioisotopes. Here we investigate the detection rate and accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy in post neoadjuvant treatment breast cancer, comparing radioisotope, isosulfan blue

    Indocyanine green fluorescence versus blue dye or radioisotope regarding detection rate of sentinel lymph node biopsy and nodes removed in breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
    (2020-05-01) Sarun Thongvitokomarn; Nuanphan Polchai; Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University; Srinakharinwirot University
    © 2020, Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention. Background: Either blue dye (BD) or radioisotope (RI) is mainly used for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in breast cancer patients. Unlike the BD, RI has lower false-negative rate of SLNB.... However, its lymphoscintigraphy, difficulty in preoperative injection, and undetected sentinel lymph nodes in some cases cause surgeons to rely only on BD. Currently, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence method (ICG-SLNB) is increasingly used

    Touch imprint cytological analysis of sentinel lymph nodes for detecting axillary metastases in patients with breast cancer
    (1999-10-25) A. Ratanawichitrasin; C. V. Biscotti; L. Levy; J. P. Crowe; Cleveland Clinic Foundation; Mahidol University
    Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a procedure that examines the first tumour-draining lymph node. Touch imprint cytology may provide a quick method for intraoperative screening of sentinel lymph nodes for the presence of metastases. Methods...: Touch imprint cytological analysis of sentinel lymph nodes was compared prospectively with the findings obtained on routine paraffin sections. Touch imprint slides from 55 patients with breast cancer were prepared during operation from multiple sections
