Significats de positive sln en anglès

Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of a positive SLN.

The natural history of patients with positive SLNs who do not undergo CLND is undefined.

No positive SLNs were detected in the 3-mm group.

Two patients had positive SLNs at multiple neck levels.

The number of histologically positive SLNs was the most powerful predictor of overall and disease-free survival.

Patients were stratified by using revised AJCC criteria to determine whether such groups also predicted positive SLNs.

Thus, additional molecular processing of peripheral slices did not significantly increase the number of patients with RT-PCR- positive SLNs.

There were 92 groins with negative SLN and 11 groins with positive SLN.

Positive nonsentinel lymph nodes were found in 22% of cases with positive SLN submitted for selective dissection.

The primary end point was the sensitivity of ICG fluorescence compared with RI in the patients with tumor- positive SLNs.

Additionally, the presence of histologically positive SLNs is the most powerful indicator of overall and disease-free survival for these patients.

The therapeutic value of additional lymph node dissection after a positive SLN for melanoma or breast cancer is still controversial.

Conclusions: Using commonly available clinicopathologic information, we developed a nomogram to accurately predict the probability of a positive SLN in patients with melanoma.

Methods: Patients who underwent SLNB for invasive breast cancer and were found to have positive SLN in two or fewer nodes were evaluated.

Conclusions: This study underscores the importance of ongoing prospective randomized trials in determining the therapeutic value of CLND after positive SLN biopsy in melanoma patients.

Patients with SLN metastases detected only by IHC had an equal likelihood of having positive NSNs as those patients with positive SLNs on H&E examination.
