Скачать или смотреть How Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Revolutionized Breast Cancer Surgery

https://learnlooklocate.com/aesthetic... 🌼 Yara V. Robertson, MD: “Back in the day, I would say they discovered the sentinel no biopsy in the 1990s when they decided to start doing it. But prior to that, every lymph node got taken out of you that we could get out of it because we thought it was going to impact your survival and make you live longer.

What we realized is that a lot of those ladies didn't even have cancer in those lymph nodes and they ended up with permanent lymphedema or arm swelling. So they didn't benefit from having all the lymph nodes taken out.

So Dr. Veronesi and his team created something called the sentinel lymph nodes, meaning the first draining lymph nodes. So the idea was if cancer cells, not that you have cancer going in a lymph node, but if cancer were to travel to any lymph node, the first few nodes that drained the breast would be those lymph nodes as you check. So we're not psychic. We can't just decide which Lymph node they are.

So he came up with a technique. And actually, it's not just blue dye. A lot of surgeons do dual tracing, meaning we use radioactivity and blue dye.”

About Learn Look Locate LLC
Cynthia Jordan, Founder of Learn Look Locate LLC in 2018 has generated a global movement to provide critical education for the early detection of breast cancer. It is estimated that one in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. While most of these cases are diagnosed in women over the age of 50, the disease can affect women of any age. Early detection is critical to survival, yet many women are not familiar with the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.

The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.

There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.

There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.

Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
