“…The need for a less-invasive predictor of metastatic SLN has led to the use of 3DCT-LG and RVS, which offers good resolution for detecting SLNs. In general, lymph nodes are composed of an outer hypoechoic cortex and an inner hyperechoic medulla, and the mean sizes of benign and malignant nodes are similar in the axillary region [11]. Most patients have a clearly visualized hilum, because they are clinically node negative preoperatively.…”

“…High resolution ultrasound has shown promise in detecting positive lymph nodes based on morphology and loss of normal architecture. In clinically benign nodes, however, this adds little information [20]. Lymphotropic nanoparticleenhanced MRI (LNMRI) is MRI performed before and after instillation of nanoparticles taken up by malignant cells.…”

Penile cancer is an uncommon disease in the industrialized world that most frequently presents at low stage and is cured with treatment of local and regional surgery. In cases of advanced cancer, the use of more aggressive surgical techniques and the addition of adjuvant therapy may be warranted. So far, few agents have been found that improve survival with metastatic disease and thus aggressive primary treatment is required. This review discusses diagnosis, staging, and therapy for high risk penile cancer.

“…A change in lymph node shape or a loss of the normal hilar fat may be a sign of nodal pathology. 9,10 Lymph node size can also be a factor in deciding if a lymph node is normal or abnormal. Cervical lymph nodes have historically been considered abnormally enlarged if the longitudinal diameter of level I or level II nodes exceeded 15 mm, retropharyngeal nodes exceeded 8 mm, and other cervical nodes exceeded 10 mm.…”

“…US can characterize the internal structure of superficial lymph nodes and neck masses alike without radiation exposure, and vascularity can be assessed with Doppler. [9][10][11] Most importantly, US-guided fine-needle aspiration is an accurate method for detecting malignant cervical node metastasis. 12 Other promising techniques in the imaging of cervical lymph nodes include dynamic CT and MR; novel MR pulse sequences, such as T1-rho; quantitative diffusion imaging; and novel contrast agents, such as iron oxide particles.…”
