Reliability of Whole Sentinel Lymph Node Analysis by One-Step Nucleic Acid Amplification for Intraoperative Diagnosis of Breast Cancer Metastases
5 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
In Brief Objective: To assess the reliability of using the One-Step Nucleic Acid Amplification (OSNA) assay as a single test on whole sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) as a method of intraoperative diagnosis and staging of SLNs in breast cancer. Background: Combining histological and molecular assessment of metastasis on the same SLN may not fully reproduce the actual load of cancer cells present in the SLN and create...
