- Summary
- "Atlas of Selective Sentinel Lymphadenectomy for Melanoma, Breast Cancer and Colon Cancer emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach combining the experiences of a nuclear medical physician, surgeon and pathologist. This is an important reference also for researchers and clinicians that want to become familiar with sentinel lymph node mapping.
- The underlying thesis in solid tumor biology is that metastasis in general starts in an orderly progression with lymphatic spread first to the sentinel lymph node (SLN) in the nearest lymph node basin. Therefore, the logical approach is to harvest that specific SLN for thorough analysis."--BOOK JACKET.
