Novel techniques for sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer: a systematic review.
TL;DR: Three techniques for sentinel lymph node biopsy that are not radioisotope dependent or that refine the existing method are assessed: indocyanine green fluorescence, contrast-enhanced ultrasound using microbubbles, and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles.

TL;DR: For patients with early breast cancer who met the trial selection criteria, risk adapted immediate single dose TARGIT-IORT during lumpectomy was an effective alternative to EBRT, with comparable long term efficacy for cancer control and lower non-breast cancer mortality.

TL;DR: The magnetic technique is a feasible technique for SLNB, with an identification rate that is not inferior to the standard technique and a color change and a handheld probe for node localization.

Effectiveness of Molecular Testing Techniques for Diagnosis of Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Masha J. Livhits,Catherine Y. Zhu,Eric J. Kuo,Dalena T Nguyen,Jiyoon Kim,Chi-Hong Tseng,Angela M. Leung,Jianyu Rao,Mary Levin,Michael Douek,Katrina Beckett,Dianne S Cheung,Yaroslav A Gofnung,Stephanie Smooke-Praw,Michael W. Yeh +14 more
TL;DR: The RNA test and DNA-RNA test displayed high specificity and allowed 49% of patients with indeterminate nodules to avoid diagnostic surgery, and the current molecular test techniques have no statistically significant difference in performance.
