In the trials that served to establish the SLNB procedure, the false-negative rate varied between 5.5% and 16.7%, and the lowest false-negative rates were from studies in which preoperative ...

"This results in clear SLN imaging in patients and the high success rate of lymphoscintigraphy. In addition, technical factors, such as the injection dose, injection volume and injection site ...

Skipping the Lymphoscintigraphy Step During Sentinel Node Procedures in Breast Cancer: What Information Are We Missing? The following represents disclosure information provided by the author of this ...

Study findings showed that SPECT/CT breast cancer imaging caught 13 percent more cancerous sentinel nodes -- 2,165 nodes versus 1,892 using planar lymphoscintigraphy. The hybrid SPECT system also ...

Quality of life (QoL) improved to a similar extent in both groups, and lymphoscintigraphy showed no significant differences between VLNT plus placebo and active treatment. Adverse event rates also ...
