Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Cancer | Harshamitra Cancer Centre

Описание: A Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy is a critical cancer staging procedure, often used for breast cancer and melanoma.

Here's how Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy works: First, the surgeon identifies and marks the sentinel lymph node, which is the initial site where cancer is most likely to spread. This process involves the use of tracers such as dye or radioactive substances to pinpoint the node. Next, a small incision is made near the tumor, allowing for the removal of the sentinel lymph node, often performed concurrently with primary cancer surgery. Finally, the extracted node undergoes thorough examination to check for the presence of cancer cells. The presence of cancer cells in the node signifies a potential spread, while the absence of such cells suggests a lower likelihood of further dissemination. This precise and targeted approach aids in both diagnosis and treatment planning for cancer patients.

This guides treatment decisions. If cancer is detected, more nodes may be removed to assess the extent, influencing the treatment plan. The focus on the sentinel node minimizes complications and improves patients' post-surgery quality of life. Specifics vary, so patients should consult with their healthcare team.
