Sentinel lymph node biopsy improves cancer staging accuracy for melanoma and breast cancer, potentially reducing the need for extensive lymph node dissection. This evolving technique requires close surgeon-pathologist collaboration for optimal results.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is an evolving technique.
  • It is primarily used for staging malignant melanoma and breast adenocarcinoma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of practice for SLNB.
  • To highlight its potential benefits and challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current practices in SLNB.
  • Discussion of tissue handling, radiation safety, and microscopic examination.
  • Emphasis on surgeon-pathologist cooperation.

Main Results:

  • SLNB can increase the accuracy of lymph node sampling for prognosis.
  • It has the potential to decrease the need for extensive lymph node dissection.
