"Axillary lymph node dissection and axillary radiotherapy after a positive sentinel node biopsy provide

Fragments of History
1997 - Umberto Veronesi, European Institute of Oncology, Milan, Italy - "In the large majority of patients with
breast cancer, lymphoscintigraphy and gamma-probe-guided surgery can be used to locate the sentinel node
in the axilla, and thereby provide important information about the status of axillary nodes. Patients without
clinical involvement of the axilla should undergo sentinel-node biopsy routinely, and may be spared complete
axillary dissection when the sentinel node is disease-free ". (Veronesi U et al.: "Sentinel-node biopsy to
avoid axillary dissection in breast cancer with clinically negative lymph-nodes2, Lancet. 1997 Jun
28;349(9069):1864-7)

FOCUS ON Breast MRI is essential for correct surgical decision-making in
patients with breast cancer - in collaboration with Bracco Imaging
In women with suspected breast cancer the aim of diagnostic imaging is to detect
and accurately diagnose malignant tumors and to facilitate the correct choice of
therapy, be it mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery with or without pre-
operative neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Although conventional mammography and
ultrasound are primary imaging modalities for women with breast cancer they have
limited sensitivity and specificity, and are associated with an increased likelihood of
inappropriate patient management if therapeutic decisions are made solely on the
basis of mammography and ultrasound findings. (read more)

Editorial
"Risk for stomach cancer after radiation therapy for cervical cancer" - Ruth A. Kleinerman , Division of
Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, USA
“We conducted a case-control study of 201 cases and 378 controls among 53,547 5-year survivors of cervical
cancer diagnosed from 1943 to 1995. More than 90% of women received radiation therapy, mostly with
external beam therapy in combination with brachytherapy. We estimated individual radiation doses to the site
of the stomach cancer for all cases and to corresponding sites for the matched controls. Our study showed for
the first time a significant linear radiation dose-response relationship for risk of stomach cancer in long-term
survivors of cervical cancer”.
