Ann Surg Oncol . 2001 May; 8(4):354-60. PMID: 11352310
Introduction: Regional nodal status is the most powerful predictor of recurrence and survival in women with breast cancer. Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy have been found to...

WILKINSON Jr R, Leight Jr G, Garner S, Borges-Neto S
Clin Nucl Med . 2000 Mar; 25(3):173-8. PMID: 10698410
Purpose: This article illustrates the complementary nature of preoperative radionuclide parathyroid imaging and intraoperative rapid parathyroid hormone (PTH) assays in primary hyperparathyroid disease. The authors review the literature on these...

Garner S, Leight Jr G
Surgery . 1999 Dec; 126(6):1132-7; discussion 1137-8. PMID: 10598198
Background: Successful surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism (1 degree HPT) historically has required bilateral neck exploration. The intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IO-PTH) assay allows a more limited procedure by confirming complete...

Garner S, Hinson T, McCarty K, Leight M, Leight Jr G, Quarles L
Surgery . 1998 Jan; 122(6):1166-75. PMID: 9426434
Background: In primary hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcemia fails to suppress adequately secretion of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid gland, which may result from failure of the cell-surface calcium receptor (CaR) to sense...

Clary B, Garner S, Leight Jr G
Surgery . 1998 Jan; 122(6):1034-8; discussion 1038-9. PMID: 9426417
Background: The surgical management of secondary hyperparathyroidism by experienced surgeons is associated with excellent results. The presence of supernumerary glands and inadequate initial parathyroidectomy can lead to reoperations for recurrence....

AJR Am J Roentgenol . 1996 Dec; 167(6):1555-62. PMID: 8956597
Objective: Our purpose was to evaluate and compare prospectively fast spin-echo MR imaging and double-phase technetium-99m-sestamibi scintigraphy for preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in high-risk surgical patients. Subjects And...

Radiology . 1995 Dec; 197(3):627-33. PMID: 7480730
Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of technetium-99m sestamibi as a single agent in the detection and localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue in patients who underwent prior neck exploration or who...

AJR Am J Roentgenol . 1993 Feb; 160(2):321-4. PMID: 8424342
Objective: The most common cause of primary aldosteronism is a small aldosterone-secreting adrenal adenoma. With improvements in CT technology, smaller adrenal lesions can now be detected. We reviewed our experience...
