The five - year cumulative incidence of lymphedema was 12.1 % for those undergoing
axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) compared to 6.9 % in those who underwent SLN biopsy.
Shown here is:
axillary lymph node hyperplasia and histiocytosis - 200X (A) and Bb antigen (D) in untreated animal IN16; cervical spinal cord, focal inflammatory lesion - 200X (B) and Bb antigen (E) from treated animal IH11; and a focal area of mononuclear inflammation in the myocardial interstitium - 1000X (C) and Bb antigen (F) from untreated animal IN05.
Sheena had two rapid recurrences at the same site and then developed an enlarged
right axillary lymph node that threatened her life.
The study, first presented at the 2012 CTRC - AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium and now updated and published in JAMA Surgery, also found that those African American women who underwent the older, more invasive procedure,
axillary lymph node (ALN) dissection, had higher rates of lymphedema.
For relative quantitative analysis of mRNA levels of B. burgdorferi target genes, samples of the heart, meninges, skeletal muscle,
axillary lymph node and lung were collected from each animal.
Within a few months of his diagnosis of primary cutaneous T - cell lymphoma, he developed systemic involvement of T - cell lymphoma in
an axillary lymph node, bone marrow and lung.
A MRM is a variation of the total mastectomy, which removes the entire breast including the lymph nodes under the arm (called
an axillary lymph node dissection) while sparing the pectoralis major muscle.
In addition, some of the lymph nodes under the arm, also called
the axillary lymph nodes, may be removed.
