DOI: 10.1007/s00268-020-05631-x
Abstract: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) using radio-pharmaceutical (RP) and a blue dye is gold standard for axillary staging in clinically node-negative early breast cancer. High costs and limited availability of RP and/or gamma probe are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2020.01.014
Abstract: INTRODUCTION The role of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for patients with ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS) is limited given the rarity of nodal metastasis in non-invasive disease. Although SLNB is typically a safe procedure, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clbc.2017.05.005
Abstract: Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the reference standard for axillary staging in all patients with invasive breast cancer. Surgical practices are being reviewed for a more conservative approach to the axilla. Patients and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jamcollsurg.2017.05.013
Abstract: BACKGROUND Hypothetically, delay between melanoma diagnosis and SLNB could affect outcomes, either adversely by allowing growth and dissemination of metastases, or beneficially by allowing development of an anti-melanoma immune response. Available data are conflicting about… read more here.

Factors predicting one or two sentinel lymph nodes to be accepted for sentinel lymph node biopsy alone after neoadjuvant therapy in initially node-positive breast cancer patients.

DOI: 10.1016/j.suronc.2021.101667
Abstract: BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend harvesting ≥3 sentinel nodes if sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) alone is considered after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for initially node-positive (cN+) breast cancer. We attempted to investigate factors predicting one or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/03007995.2023.2165813
Abstract: Abstract Background The 31-gene expression profile test (Class 1A: low-risk; 1B/2A: intermediate-risk; 2B: high-risk) is validated to identify patients with cutaneous melanoma who can safely forego sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). The objective of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/bjsopen/zrac022
Abstract: Abstract Background Axillary lymph node status remains the most powerful prognostic indicator in invasive breast cancer. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive disease and does not spread to axillary lymph nodes. The presence… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction Despite the advances in cutaneous melanoma management, the false-negative rates (FNRs) of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) are still high. These rates are dependent not only on the technique but also on definitional terms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/sla.0000000000001778
Abstract: Background: We hypothesized that disconcerting lymphedema rates in both sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) may be because of unrecognized vunerable variations in arm lymphatic drainage within the axilla. Axillary… read more here.
