Offering a new standard of care for cancer staging and treatment, Lymphatic Mapping and Probe Applications in Oncology provides an up-to-the-minute comprehensive survey of the operative techniques and applications in this revolutionary field. This practical guide, written by the pioneering doctors of sentinel node lymphadenectomy, focuses on the hypothesis of sequential lymphatic dissemination of solid tumors, supplying the extensive tools necessary for learning nuclear medicine, surgical and pathological techniques. Emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach, Lymphatic Mapping and Probe Applications in Oncology · summarizes the history, physiology, and future impact of lymphatic mapping, lymphoscintigraphy, and sentinel lymphadenectomy · details current applications and potential uses for radioguided surgery · analyzes definitive identification and pathological evaluation methods for sentinel nodes · investigates radiation protection in sentinel node procedures · compares the advantages of multiple gamma ray detection probes · examines management of multiple solid tumors, including melanoma, breast, vulvar, and penile cancers · discusses studies using radiopharmaceuticals and intraoperative probes for localizing parathyroid adenomas and bone lesions · and more! Supplemented with nearly 600 literature references, drawings, photographs, and tables, Lymphatic Mapping and Probe Applications in Oncology serves as an indispensable reference for surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists; nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists; pathologists; gynecologists; urologists; head and neck surgeons; dermatologists; and physicians in training.
