Significats de positive slns en anglès

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.

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.

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.

Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed in 917 breast cancer patients who underwent surgery treatment between 2002 and 2017 and pathologically confirmed 1-2 positive SLNs.

Intra-operative frozen section examination was performed in 39% of the cases and was helpful in detecting occult localizations only in 47% of the positive SLNs.
