Journal ArticleDOI
Dermal injection of radioactive colloid is superior to peritumoral injection for breast cancer sentinel lymph node biopsy: results of a multiinstitutional study.
Kelly M. McMasters,Sandra L. Wong,Robert C.G. Martin,Celia Chao,Todd M Tuttle,R. Dirk Noyes,David J. Carlson,Alison L. Laidley,Terre Q. McGlothin,Philip B. Ley,C. Matthew Brown,Rebecca L. Glaser,Robert E. Pennington,Peter S. Turk,Diana Simpson,Patricia B. Cerrito,Michael J. Edwards +16 more
TL;DR: Dermal injection of radioactive colloid significantly improves the SLN identification rate compared with peritumoral or subdermal injection, and the false-negative rate is also minimized by the use of dermal injection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining the optimal surgeon experience for breast cancer sentinel lymph node biopsy: A model for implementation of new surgical techniques
Kelly M. McMasters,Sandra L. Wong,Celia Chao,Claudine Woo,Todd M Tuttle,R. Dirk Noyes,David J. Carlson,Alison L. Laidley,Terre Q. McGlothin,Philip B. Ley,C. Matthew Brown,Rebecca L. Glaser,Robert E. Pennington,Peter S. Turk,Diana Simpson,Michael J. Edwards +15 more
TL;DR: Surgeons should perform at least 20 SLN cases with acceptable results before abandoning routine axillary dissection, and this study provides a model for surgeon training and experience that may be applicable to the implementation of other new surgical technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of intraoperative frozen section analysis of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer.
Celia Chao,Sandra L. Wong,Douglas Ackermann,Diana Simpson,Mary B. Carter,C. Matthew Brown,Michael J. Edwards,Kelly M. McMasters +7 more
TL;DR: Two thirds of the patients with sentinel lymph node biopsy who had intraoperative pathology consultation between January 1998 and September 2000 were spared the need for reoperative axillary lymphadenectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of prior breast biopsy method and concurrent definitive breast procedure on success and accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Sandra L. Wong,Michael J. Edwards,Celia Chao,Todd M Tuttle,R. Dirk Noyes,David J. Carlson,Alison L. Laidley,Terre Q. McGlothin,Philip B. Ley,C. Matthew Brown,Rebecca L. Glaser,Robert E. Pennington,Peter S. Turk,Diana Simpson,Kelly M. McMasters +14 more
TL;DR: There were no statistically significant differences in SLN identification rate or false-negative rate between patients undergoing excisional versus needle biopsy, nor does the type of definitive surgical procedure affect the accuracy of SLN biopsy.
Journal Article
Accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy for patients with T2 and T3 breast cancers.
Sandra L. Wong,Celia Chao,Michael J. Edwards,Todd M Tuttle,R. Dirk Noyes,David J. Carlson,Alison L. Laidley,Terre Q. McGlothin,Philip B. Ley,C. Matthew Brown,Rebecca L. Glaser,Robert E. Pennington,Peter S. Turk,Diana Simpson,Kelly M. McMasters +14 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that SLN biopsy is no less accurate for T2-3 breast cancers compared with T1 tumors, and the SLN identification rate, false negative rate, and overall accuracy of SLNBiopsy were not significantly different among tumor stages T1, T2, and T3.
