Abstract
The advent of nanotechnology has opened new possibilities for bioimaging. Metal nanoparticles (such as gold, silver, iron, copper, etc.) hold tremendous potential and offer enormous opportunities for imaging and diagnostics due to their broad optical characteristics, ease of manufacturing technique, and simple surface modification. The arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptide is a three-amino acid sequence that seems to have a considerably greater ability to adhere to integrin adhesion molecules that exclusively express on tumour cells. RGD peptides act as the efficient tailoring ligand with a variety of benefits including non-toxicity, greater precision, rapid clearance, etc. This review focuses on the possibility of non-invasive cancer imaging using metal nanoparticles with RGD assistance.

Abstract
Precise diagnosis of lymph node metastasis to guide lymphadenectomy is highly important for gastric cancer therapy in clinics. Though surgical dissection of regional metastatic lymph nodes remains the only way for gastric cancer therapy, the extended dissection may cause unavoidable postoperative risk of complications. It is still lack of effective method enabling the accurate removal of metastatic gastric cancer cells in lymph nodes with minimum injuries to normal tissue. Herein, we report a new fluorescent copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticle (RGD-CuS-Cy5.5) enabling both non-invasive multimodality imaging and targeting photothermal therapy (PTT) of metastatic gastric cancer cells in lymph nodes. We demonstrate that RGD-CuS-Cy5.5 can easily drain into sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) after injection into primary tumors, and selectively enter into metastatic gastric MNK45 tumor cells via αvβ3 integrin-mediated endocytosis. The resulting strong near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence and computed tomography (CT) contrast in metastatic SLN compared to normal SLN can precisely differentiate SLN metastasis of gastric cancers. Guided by the imaging, localized PTT with RGD-CuS-Cy5.5 is conducted upon irradiation with an 808 nm laser, resulting in complete removal of metastatic gastric tumor cells in SLN without obvious toxicity. Moreover, RGD-CuS-Cy5.5 can also allow for the rapid and non-invasive self-monitoring of PTT efficacy against metastatic SLNs in living mice. This study highlights the potential of using RGD-CuS-Cy5.5 for imaging-guided and targeting PTT of SLN metastasis in vivo, which may be applicable for the metastatic gastric cancer therapy in clinics. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE RGD-CuS-Cy5.5 nanoparticles possess NIR fluorescence and CT signals for in vivo bimodality imaging of lymph node metastasis. Strong photothermal property under irradiation at 808 nm for efficient PTT. Easy drain into sentinel lymph nodes and selective enter metastatic gastric cancer cells via αvβ3 integrin-mediated endocytosis. Rapid and non-invasive monitoring of therapeutic efficacy against lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a patient self-report tool to detect symptoms of genital and lower limb lymphoedema in male survivors of genitourinary cancer. The study incorporated the views of patients and subject specialists (lymphoedema and urology) in the design of a patient questionnaire based on the literature. Views on comprehensiveness, relevance of content, ease of understanding and perceived acceptability to patients were collated. The findings informed the development of the next iteration of the questionnaire. The overall view of participants was that the development and application of such a tool was of great clinical value and the Lymphoedema Genito-Urinary Cancer Questionnaire (LGUCQ) has significant potential for further development as a research tool to inform prevalence of this under-reported condition.

Abstract
The ability to reliably detect sentinel lymph nodes for sentinel lymph node biopsy and lymphadenectomy is important in clinical management of patients with metastatic cancers. However, the traditional sentinel lymph node mapping with visible dyes is limited by the penetration depth of light and fast clearance of the dyes. On the other hand, sentinel lymph node mapping with radionucleotide technique has intrinsically low spatial resolution and does not provide anatomic details in the sentinel lymph node mapping procedure. This work reports the development of a dual modality imaging probe with magnetic resonance and near infrared imaging capabilities for sentinel lymph node mapping using magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (10 nm core size) conjugated with a near infrared molecule with emission at 830 nm. Accumulation of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in sentinel lymph nodes leads to strong T2 weighted magnetic resonance imaging contrast that can be potentially used for preoperative localization of sentinel lymph nodes, while conjugated near infrared molecules provide optical imaging tracking of lymph nodes with a high signal to background ratio. The new magnetic nanoparticle based dual imaging probe exhibits a significant longer lymph node retention time. Near infrared signals from nanoparticle conjugated near infrared dyes last up to 60 min in sentinel lymph node compared to that of 25 min for the free near infrared dyes in a mouse model. Furthermore, axillary lymph nodes, in addition to sentinel lymph nodes, can be also visualized with this probe, given its slow clearance and sufficient sensitivity. Therefore, this new dual modality imaging probe with the tissue penetration and sensitive detection of sentinel lymph nodes can be applied for preoperative survey of lymph nodes with magnetic resonance imaging and allows intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping using near infrared optical devices.

Abstract
Background The internal mammary artery and vein is often used as a site of anastomoses in microvascular breast reconstruction. This area supports lymphatic drainage of the breast and its role in breast cancer metastasis remains unclear. We hypothesize that sampling of internal mammary lymph nodes at the time of microvascular anastomoses preparation may identify persistent or recurrent local disease and mandate the need for additional treatment in this area. Material/Methods A retrospective chart review from 519 patients in the time between January 2006 and September 2009 was performed on all patients who underwent internal mammary lymph node sampling at the time of microvascular breast reconstruction. Results Microvascular breast reconstruction was performed in 519 patients. Enlarged internal mammary lymph nodes were found and harvested in 195 patients for histological review. Six of 195 (3.08%) were found positive for metastatic disease requiring additional oncologic treatment. Conclusions The internal mammary lymphatic drainage system is an important and often underappreciated pathway for breast metastasis. Routine sampling of these lymph nodes at the time of microvascular breast reconstruction is easy to perform and is a useful tool to identify women, who might require additional treatment and increase cancer-free survival.

Abstract
Sentinel node biopsy is a widely accepted alternative to primary axillary lymph node dissection for ipsilateral nodal assessment in breast cancer. We have performed a retrospective chart review in 713 consecutive patients with primary, operable breast cancer who underwent sentinel node biopsy in order to identify factors that determine the sentinel node identification rate. Chi-squared test, univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the influence of different factors on the sentinel identification rate. Among the factors investigated, tumour size was correlated with sentinel lymph nodes detection rates (multiple logistic regression, P= 0.002). In addition, the patient's age showed to be a significant influencing factor (multiple logistic regression, P= 0.006). Body mass index and grade only exhibited a significant correlation with the identification rate in the univariate (P= 0.041, P= 0.025), but not in the multivariate analysis (P= not significant). All associations were found to be independent of the site of injection. Interestingly, surgeons with intermediate expertise (11-20 prior dissections) had the highest detection rates (P= 0.004). We conclude that sentinel identification rates are higher in larger tumours and in younger patients, independent of the injection site. Surgical experience in sentinel node dissection is not linearly correlated with higher identification rates.

Abstract
The lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels are more difficult to access than most vascular structures. Interstitial injection of imaging agents is often necessary to opacify the lymphatics. Traditionally, radionuclide methods of sentinel node imaging have dominated this field, however, limitations in resolution and exposure to radiation have encouraged the development of newer imaging methods. Among these are magnetic resonance lymphography in which a Gadolinium labeled nanoparticle is injected and imaged providing superior anatomic resolution and assessment of lymphatic dynamics. Optical imaging employing various nanoparticles including quantum dots also provide the capability of mapping each lymphatic basin in another "color". Taken together this "toolbox" of lymphatic imaging agents is poised to improve our understanding of the lymphatic system.

Abstract
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is commonly diagnosed today, mainly due to widespread use of screening mammography. Despite a better understanding of its biological behavior, many issues regarding its optimal management remain controversial. The biological behavior of DCIS has been associated with distinct molecular and histological features (such as expression of COX2, Ki67, c-erbB2, p53 mutation, presence or absence of comedonecrosis, nuclear grade, hormone receptor status, etc.). Recent advances in the diagnosis of DCIS include using magnetic resonance imaging, and the use of stereotactic-guided directional vacuum-assisted biopsy (DVAB). Ductoscopy and ductal lavage have a limited role in the management of DCIS. Surgical treatment of DCIS includes simple local excision to various forms of wider excision (segmental resection or quadrantectomy), or even mastectomy (either simple or skin-sparing). Radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery significantly reduces local recurrence rates. Axillary lymph node dissection is not required for the management of DCIS; however, during the last decade, sentinel lymph node biopsy is increasingly used to exclude the presence of axillary metastases (when invasive disease is present within the DCIS). This approach has many advantages (including the avoidance of a second surgery if invasive disease is diagnosed within the DCIS) and should be considered when there is an increased probability for the presence of invasive breast cancer within the DCIS. The role of other minimally invasive methods (such as the "therapeutic" application of the DVAB technique, radiofrequency ablation, laser therapy, cryotherapy and brachytherapy) in the management of small DCIS remains unproven. Tamoxifen should be considered in the management of selected patients with DCIS, such as patients with hormone receptor positive DCIS, young patients, and patients without risk factors for potential side effects. Additionally, and controversial, there is evidence that aromatase inhibitors may be better than tamoxifen in the management of DCIS.
