Sentinal lymph node biopsy is a staging procedure used to detect occult metastases in early stage cancers. The sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node to receive drainage from a tumor. During the procedure, a radioactive tracer is injected around the tumor and followed using a gamma probe to identify the sentinel lymph node, which is then surgically removed and examined for cancer cells. Identifying metastases in the sentinel lymph node can help determine the need for further treatment such as neck dissection while avoiding unnecessary procedures in node-negative patients. While controversial in oral cancers due to variability in lymphatic drainage, sentinel lymph node biopsy may help improve staging and individualize treatment when performed by an experienced team.

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Sentinal lymph node biopsy
1. Sentinal Lymph Node Biopsy
Dr Jameel Kifayatullah
Khyber College of dentistry Peshawar
2. Sentinal Lymph Node
• Sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the first lymph
node to receive drainage directly from a
tumor.
3. Sentinal Lymph node biopsy
• SLN biopsy is based on an ordered dissemination of
tumor cells from peritumoral lymphatics to the SLN,
and then to more distant lymph nodes
• Clinical identifcation of these nodes is performed via
injection of numerous types of tracers, dyes, and
radioisotopes into the peritumoral site depending on
the type and location of the tumor
• Labeled lymph nodes are surgically excised and
histologically examined for the presence of disease.
• Identification and biopsy of the SLN can correctly
indicate the status of the draining lymph node basin.
5. ADVANATAGES OF SNB
The advantages of implementing SNB instead
of ND include
• decreased morbidity
• Decreased operating room time
• Decreased length of postoperative stay
6. Side effects OF SNB
• Tenderness around the area of surgery
• Numbness
• Limited range of motion
• Infection
• Lymphedema
7. Technique
• The radiologist injects a harmless radioactive
substance around the tumor
• After 30-60 seconds the area is scanned to
show where the substance has travelled
within the lymphatic system.
8.
9. Technique
• The radioactive tracer travels within lymphatic
channels and gets trapped in a lymph node.
• The first node to receive drainage from a
tumor is called the sentinel lymph node.
• Sentinel node will also trap metastatic cancer
cells before they spread to other lymph nodes.
• A special probe i.e gamma probe is used to
identify the greatest concentration of
radioactive tracer.
12. technique
• The display shows the amount of tracer
activity detected by the probe
• High level of tracer activity indicates location
of sentinel lymph node.
• The sentinel node is identified again
intraoperatively with the aid of a gamma
probe
• The area with elevated radioactivity is
explored to identify the sentinel lymph node
13. Technique
• Tissue with sentinel
lymph node is identified
• Elevated radioactivity
counts confirmed
14. Technique
• The lymph node is removed and sent to
pathologist if cancer cells are present
• If cancer is detected then more aggressive
treatment such as neck dissection is carried
out.
15. What is duel mapping?
• In dual mapping (use of
a dye along with a
radioisotope)
cutaneous
lymphoscintigraphy is
used prior to sentinel
node biopsy as a way to
increase sensitivity and
detection rate.
16. Importance of SLNB
• Sentinel node biopsy (SNB) is a reliable staging
test for patients with early disease and a
radiologically N0 neck, can detect occult
metastases with a sensitivity of 86%–94%.
• Patients with no sign of metastases on SNB
could avoid neck dissection, and individual
treatment should reduce both morbidity and
cost.
18. SNB
Contraindications
• Absence of an experienced surgeon and team
• Clinically positive nodes
• Adverse or allergic reaction to radioactive dye
• Patient unable to give informed consent for
sentinel lymph node biopsy
19. SNB USE IN ORAL CANCER
• controversial
• One of the main problem of SLNB of oral cancer is
skip metastasis in which the disease bypasses
level 1 and 2 nodes and goes directly to level 3-4
Ref - Jatin Shah’s Head & Neck Surgery &
Oncology 4th Edition
• SLNB in OSCC still remains with an investigational
role. This procedure is very complicated in head
and neck tumors because of the great wealth of
lymphatic vessels and a great variability of
regional lymphatic migration
20. Future perspectives
Refinements in technology including
development of novel radiopharmaceutical
tracers, routine incorporation of detailed
anatomic perioperative imaging, emerging
imaging modalities, as well as increasing
surgeon experience will likely lead to
improvements in use and accuracy of this
technique and improved adoption of SLN
procedures in the management of OSCC.
