There are few reports confirming the validity of sentinel lymph biopsy in patients with a background of lymphoproliferative disease. We reviewed nine cases of women who underwent sentinel lymph node (SLN) surgery for staging of primary breast cancer with a diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disease. SLN identification rate was 100 per cent with a background of lymphoma in the sentinel node in eight of the nine patients. With a mean follow-up of 37 months, there have been no axillary recurrences in any of these patients. These cases illustrate that SLN staging is feasible and provides axillary staging information in women with breast cancer despite synchronous lymphoproliferative disease.

The primary treatment of resectable CRC is surgical resection. Postoperative adjuvant therapies are recommended when lymph node metastases are found (stage III). There is evidence that about 20% of node negative CRC cases (stage II) are understaged, i.e., they are actually node positive (stage III). New intraoperative procedures (lymphatic mapping and sentinel node identification) that are able to detect occult macro- and micrometastases. Molecular assessment of nodal disease should improve the current staging criteria for colon cancer and could influence recommendation for adjuvant treatment.

SummaryThe international consensus conference from St. Gallen concerning the treatment of early breast cancer concluded in 2003, that sentinel node biopsy was now accepted as method allowing axillary staging in breast cancer. This procedure may avoid complete lymph node dissection in appropriate cases. Since numerous questions associated with the technique are still not defined and the procedure itself is not yet standardized, the German Society of Senology defined the conditions for the routine clinical use of sentinel node biopsy in an interdisciplinary consensus meeting.
