Objective: to analyze the relation of anatomopathological features and axillary involvement in cases of invasive ductal carcinoma. Methods: this is a cross-sectional study of 220 breast cancer patients submitted to radical mastectomy or quadrantectomy with axilar emptying, from the Mastology Service of the Assis Chateaubriand Maternity School, Ceará, Brazil. We submitted the tumors to histological processing an...
Introduction and objective: Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) has currently replaced axillary dissection in early-stage breast cancer in clinically tumor-free patients. Technetium-99 (99Tc) is the gold standard for the identification of Breast Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN). Blue dyes are a less expensive and widely used option in Brazil. These dyes are responsible for several adverse and hypersensitivity reactions ...
Objective: To establish the histological grade of the axillary metastases in invasive ductal breast cancer cases and to compare it with the findings from the primary tumor. Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 69 cases of invasive ductal breast cancer from the mastology service of Assis Chateaubriand Maternity School, Ceará, Brazil, and their respective axillary metastases. The breast primary tumors and met...
VASQUES, Paulo Henrique Diógenes et al. Comparison between hemosiderin and Technetium-99 in sentinel lymph node biopsy in human breast cancer. Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, São Paulo,v. 30, n. 11, p. 785-790, 2015.; PURPOSE: To assess the safety and potential equivalence of the use of hemosiderin compared to the Technetium-99 in sentinel lymph node biopsy in human breast cancer. METHODS: Non-random sample of 14 vo...
OBJECTIVES: This paper discusses the influence of a para-areolar incision in the upper outer quadrant of the breast on the location of the sentinel lymph node in a canine model. METHODS: The sentinel lymph node was marked with technetium-99, which was injected into the subareolar skin of the cranial breast. After the marker had migrated to the axilla, an arcuate para-areolar incision was performed 2 cm from the...
