| sentinel lymph node biopsy | term type: main entry term part of speech: noun number: singular reliability code: 10 origination date: 08/02/2001 originator: Claudia definition: biopsy used to determine whether breast cancer has spread (metastasized) to axillary lymph nodes, i.e., lymph glands under the arm. This procedure requires the removal of only one to three lymph nodes for close review by a pathologist. If the sentinel nodes do not contain tumor cells, this may eliminate the need to remove additional lymph nodes in the axillary area. (en) check date: 11/08/2001 |
