PCH pioneers lymph node mapping for melanoma patient
Linkous becomes third patient at PCH to undergo sentinel lymph node mapping using a radioactive dye and gamma probe. Dr Hyacinthe brings the technique from Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, highlighting its ability to stage cancer more accurately with less invasive surgery, enabling selective node removal if metastasis is detected and avoiding full lymph node dissection when negative. The procedure, introduced in 1992, is especially promising for breast cancer and melanoma, with melanoma now rising rapidly in incidence.
