  2. 1. Studies on Prediction of Axillary Lymph Node Status in Invasive Breast Cancer

    Author : Johan Ahlgren; Karl von Smitten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Breast cancer; lymph node metastases; prognostic factors; predictive factors; axillary surgery; angiogenesis; immunohistochemistry; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; onkologi;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females in Sweden. Axillary lymph-node dissection is a standard procedure in the management of breast cancer, aiming at obtaining prognostic information for adjuvant therapy decisions. Axillary dissection entails considerable morbidity. READ MORE

    Keywords : breast neoplasm; scintimammography; diagnostic accuracy; triple diagnosis; axillary lymph node metastases;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to explore the role of nuclear medicine in diagnosis of primary breast carcinoma and regional lymph node involvement. The introduction includes a review over nuclear medicine techniques currently under investigation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer : aspects on validation, diagnostics and lymphatic drainage pattern

    Author : Fuat Celebioglu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Axillary lymph node status is the most important pathological determinant of prognosis in early breast cancer. Determination of axillary status is crucial in clinical decision-making. Total axillary lymphadenectomy is generally accepted as a reliable staging procedure. READ MORE

  7. 5. Prediction of prognosis in human breast cancer : a study on clinicopathologic and cytometric prognostic factors

    Author : Conny Arnerlöv; Stefan O. Emdin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This study was undertaken to evaluate some important prognostic factors in human breast cancer. The prognostic value of accepted clinicopathological factors such as the presence of axillary lymph node métastasés, histologic grade, clinical and pathological stage was confirmed. READ MORE
