Sentinel Lymph Node in Cervical Cancer: Precision in Cancer Staging

In cervical cancer, the sentinel lymph node is crucial for determining whether the cancer has spread. By performing a sentinel lymph node biopsy, Dr. Nazish Khalid can assess metastasis accurately. This minimally invasive procedure allows for precise cancer staging, guiding treatment decisions, and reducing the need for extensive lymph node removal.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: Indications and Role in Cancer Treatment

Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a vital procedure used to assess whether cancer has spread beyond the primary tumor. Indicated for breast cancer (often during mastectomy), melanoma, and other cancers, this biopsy helps stage the disease and guide treatment. Dr. Nazish Khalid specializes in sentinel lymph node biopsy, offering precise, minimally invasive care to optimize patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary lymph node removal.

Sentinel Lymph Node Sampling and Types of Lymph Node Biopsy

Sentinel lymph node sampling is a targeted procedure that identifies and evaluates the first lymph node affected by cancer. This method allows for accurate staging while minimizing tissue removal. Various types of lymph node biopsy include fine needle aspiration, core needle biopsy, and excisional biopsy. Dr. Nazish Khalid offers expertise in these techniques, ensuring effective cancer assessment and personalized treatment plans for optimal patient care.
