    Notizen: Abstract Background: Routine intraoperative frozen section (FS) of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) can detect metastatic disease, allowing immediate axillary dissection and avoiding the need for reoperation. Routine FS is also costly, increases operative time, and is subject to false-negative results. We examined the benefit of routine intraoperative FS among the first 1000 patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center who had SLN biopsy for breast cancer. Methods: We performed SLN biopsy with intraoperative FS in 890 consecutive breast cancer patients, none of whom had a back-up axillary dissection planned in advance. Serial sections and immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratins were performed on all SLN that proved negative on FS. The sensitivity of FS was determined as a function of (1) tumor size and (2) volume of metastatic disease in the SLN, and the benefit of FS was defined as the avoidance of a reoperative axillary dissection. Results: The sensitivity of FS ranged from 40% for patients with T1a to 76% for patients with T2 cancers. The volume of SLN metastasis was highly correlated with tumor size, and FS was far more effective in detecting macrometastatic disease (sensitivity 92%) than micrometastases (sensitivity 17%). The benefit of FS in avoiding reoperative axillary dissection ranged from 4% for T1a (6 of 143) to 38% for T2 (45 of 119) cancers. Conclusions: In breast cancer patients having SLN biopsy, the failure of routine intraoperative FS is largely the failure to detect micrometastatic disease. The benefit of routine intraoperative FS increases with tumor size. Routine FS may not be indicated in patients with the smallest invasive cancers.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: Radiotracer and blue dye mapping of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) have been advocated as accurate methods to stage the clinically negative axilla in breast cancer patients. The technical aspects of SLN biopsy are not fully characterized. In this study we compare the results of intraparenchymal (IP) and intradermal (ID) injection of Tc-99m sulfur colloid, to establish an optimal method for SLN localization. Methods: 200 consecutive patients had SLN biopsy performed by a single surgeon. Of these, 100 (Group I) had IP injection and 100 (Group II) had ID injection of Tc-99m sulfur colloid. All patients had IP injection of blue dye as well. Endpoints included (1) successful SLN localization by lymphoscintigraphy, (2) successful SLN localization at surgery, and (3) blue dye–isotope concordance (uptake of dye and isotope by the same SLN). Results: Isotope SLN localization was successful in 78% of Group I and 97% of group II patients (P 〈 .001). When isotope was combined with blue dye, SLN were found in 92% of group I and 100% of Group II (P 〈 .01). In cases where both dye and isotope were found in the axilla, dye mapped the same SLN as radiotracer in 97% of Group I and 95% of Group II patients. Conclusions: The dermal and parenchymal lymphatics of the breast drain to the same SLN in most patients. Because ID injection is easier to perform and more effective, this technique may simplify and optimize SLN localization.

    Internal mammary node status: A major prognosticator in axillary node-negative breast cancer (1995)

    Notizen: Abstract Background: The internal mammary lymph nodes (IMN) have received little attention in recent years, yet are a well-documented site of metastasis and a major prognostic factor in early-stage breast cancer. Methods/Results: Ten-year follow-up of the final 195 patients treated by extended radical mastectomy (ERM) in this practice (selected largely on the basis of medial tumor location, and comprising 15% of all patients treated from 1965 to 1978) found IMN + in 24% of all cases: 36% of AX + versus 18% of AX -patients (p=0.0023). In a multivariate analysis, the disease-free survival impact of IMN + (p=0.004) was second only to axillary node involvement (p〈0.0005), and surpassed tumor size (p=0.077). IMN + was equally frequent for tumors less than, or greater than, 2 cm (24%), and was not significantly related to patient age. Among AX - patients, there was a twofold greater risk of recurrence or death at 10 years for IMN + than for IMN -. Among T1N0 patients, 19.6% were IMN +. Conclusions: Failure to consider IMN status in the steadily enlarging cohort of T1N0 breast cancers may result in the undertreatment of a significant proportion of stage I patients. Systemic adjuvant therapy should be considered for T1N0 patients with central or medial tumors.
