Abstract

In breast cancer surgery, some medical facilities lack the necessary resources to conduct sentinel lymph node biopsy and its intraoperative frozen section consultation. In the coastal rural area of Fukushima, Japan, which has suffered from physician undersupply following the 2011 triple disaster of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster, we explored the feasibility of telepathology by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy in remote intraoperative frozen section consultation of sentinel lymph node biopsy and its required time. Although examination time has room for improvement, telepathology can be one possible solution in resource-limited areas.

2011年三重灾难后，日本福岛癌症前哨淋巴结活检术中冷冻切片咨询中的远程病理学：早期实施阶段的诊断准确性和所需时间。

在癌症手术中，一些医疗机构缺乏必要的资源来进行前哨淋巴结活检及其术中冷冻切片咨询。在2011年地震、海啸和核灾难三重灾难后医生供应不足的日本福岛沿海农村地区，我们通过评估前哨淋巴结活检术中冷冻切片远程会诊的诊断准确性及其所需时间，探讨了远程病理学的可行性。尽管检查时间还有改进的空间，但在资源有限的领域，远程病理学可能是一种可能的解决方案。

期刊介绍： Rural and Remote Health is a not-for-profit, online-only, peer-reviewed academic publication. It aims to further rural and remote health education, research and practice. The primary purpose of the Journal is to publish and so provide an international knowledge-base of peer-reviewed material from rural health practitioners (medical, nursing and allied health professionals and health workers), educators, researchers and policy makers.
