Frozen section and permanent analysis of sentinel nodes are equivalent.
2004 MAY 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Using frozen section (FS) or permanent section (PS) analysis of sentinel node biopsies in breast cancer does not affect patient quality of life, researchers report.
According to published research from the United States, "In the absence of data from randomized trials, a formal decision analysis was undertaken to quantify the relative value of the patients quality of life with regard to performing intraoperative frozen section (FS) versus permanent section (PS) analysis of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) for breast cancer."
"Assumptions for this analysis were based on data from 203 nodal basins where the prevalence of nodal metastasis was 26.1%; the FS sensitivity was 68% and FS false-positive rate was 0.7%. DATA 4.0 was used to model the decision analysis," wrote C. Chao and colleagues, University of Texas, Medical Branch.
"The two branches of the tree represent the two surgical options of either FS analysis intraoperatively, accompanied by immediate axillary dissection for positive nodes, versus PS analysis followed by reoperative axillary dissection. The expected utility (EU) with the FS strategy is ...
