Neck lymph node status is the most important factor for prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Sentinel node detection reliably predicts the lymph node status in melanoma and breast cancer patients. This study evaluates the predictive value of sentinel node detection in 50 patients suffering from pharyngeal and laryngeal carcinomas with a N0 neck as assessed by ultrasound imaging. Following 99m-Technetium nanocolloid injection in the perimeter of the tumour intraoperative sentinel node detection was performed during lymph node dissection. Postoperatively the histological results of the sentinel nodes were compared with the excised neck dissection specimen. Identification of sentinel nodes was successful in all 50 patients with a sensitivity of 89%. In eight cases the sentinel node showed nodal disease (pN1). In 41 patients the sentinel node was tumour negative reflecting the correct neck lymph node status (pN0). We observed one false-negative result. In this case the sentinel node was free of tumour, whereas a neighbouring lymph node contained a lymph node metastasis (pN1). Although we have shown, that skipping of nodal basins can occur, this technique still reliably identifies the sentinel nodes of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the pharynx and larynx. Future studies must show, if sentinel node detection is suitable to limit the extent of lymph node dissection in clinically N0 necks of patients suffering from pharyngeal and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy originally was described as a means of identifying lymph node metastases in malignant melanoma and breast carcinoma. The use of SLN biopsy in patients with oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and clinically N0 necks was investigated to determine whether the pathology of the SLN reflected that of the neck. METHODS: Patients undergoing elective neck dissections for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma accessible to injection were enrolled into our study. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed after blue dye and radiocolloid injection. Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy and the perioperative use of a gamma probe identified radioactive SLNs; visualization of blue stained lymphatics identified blue SLNs. A neck dissection completed the surgical procedure, and the pathology of the SLN was compared with that of the remaining neck dissection. RESULTS: Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed on 40 cases with clinically N0 necks. Twenty were pathologically clear of tumor and 20 contained subclinical metastases. SLNs were found in 17 necks with pathologic disease and contained metastases in 16. The sentinel lymph node was the only lymph node containing tumor in 12 of 16. CONCLUSIONS: The SLN, in head and neck carcinomas accessible to injection without anesthesia, is an accurate reflector of the status of the regional lymph nodes, when found in patients with early tumors. Sentinel lymph nodes may be found in clinically unpredictable sites, and SLN biopsy may aid in identifying the clinically N0 patient with early lymph node disease. If SLNs cannot be located in the neck, an elective lymph node dissection should be considered. 相似文献

In patients with early head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), occult lymph node metastasis is difficult to predict by clinical or pathological parameters. However, such parameters are necessary to select patients either for elective neck dissection or the sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure. The membrane glycoprotein podoplanin is normally expressed in lymphatic endothelial cells. Recently, expression of podoplanin by cancer cells was demonstrated to promote tumor cell motility and tumor lymphangiogenesis in vitro. The value of cancer cell-expressed podoplanin was to be determined as a predictive marker for SLN metastasis in early HNSCC of the oral cavity and oropharynx. One hundred twenty patients with HNSCC of the oral cavity and oropharynx undergoing a SLN biopsy were enrolled in this prospective clinical trial of SLN biopsy. Cancer cell-expressed podoplanin was determined by immunohistochemistry using tissue microarrays. Podoplanin expression was quantified by the intensity reactivity score and categorized into expression and nonexpression. SLN examination revealed occult metastasis in 45 patients (37.5%). Twenty-nine of 120 (24.2%) primary HNSCC showed podoplanin expression. Podoplanin expression correlated significantly with SLN metastasis (p = 0.029) and remained a significant predictor for lymph node status even after controlling for tumor stage (p = 0.028). As a predictive marker for SLN metastasis, however, podoplanin expression reached a sensitivity of a mere 36% and a specificity of 83%. Podoplanin expression is associated with metastasis to lymph nodes in vivo. Podoplanin immunohistochemistry in early HNSCC of the oral cavity and oropharynx may help to select patients for the SLN procedure and to identify patients with increased risk for presence of occult lymph node metastasis in the neck. 相似文献

AIMS: The risk of metastases to the submandibular and submental lymph nodes in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lower lip is closely related to the primary tumour size and the differentiation of the tumour. In order to determine the feasibility of the technique and the possible metastatic lymph nodes in SCC of the lower lip, intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed in patients with tumour size greater than 2 cm (T2) and clinically non-palpable regional lymph nodes (N0). METHODS: Intraoperative lymphatic mapping with patent blue dye was performed in 20 patients with SCC of the lower lip. The stained lymph node (sentinel) was identified in each patient and sent for frozen section analysis in order to verify tumour metastasis. All patients had undergone bilateral suprahyoid neck dissection at the same stage. RESULTS: Three of the patients were female and 17 were male. The median age was 66. Sentinel lymph nodes were identified in 18 of the patients (90%). Intraoperative or post-operative histopathologic examination of the sentinel lymph node showed tumour metastasis in three of the patients (16.6%). The histopathologic examination of the remaining 15 patients whose sentinel lymph nodes were free of metastasis, showed no metastasis in the non-sentinel lymph nodes. In two of the three patients with metastatic sentinel lymph nodes, non-sentinel lymph nodes were free of metastases. There were no false negative results and no local or systemic complications of the technique were seen among the patients. CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy is feasible in patients with SCC of the lower lip who have large tumour size and non-palpable regional lymph nodes. The technique may help to avoid neck dissection when the patient has negative sentinel lymph node and when positive provides useful information for more effective radical treatment. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Pre-operative staging of the clinically N(0) neck in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma is hindered by the relatively high false negative/positive rates of conventional imaging techniques. The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of (18)F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging and biopsy to determine the true disease status of the loco-regional lymphatics. METHODS: Nineteen patients with biopsy proven disease without palpable or radiological evidence of neck metastases underwent pre-operative (18)F-FDG PET and SLN imaging. All patients underwent whole-body FDG PET and a single view of the head and neck. SLN technique was performed using four peri-tumoural injections of (99m)Tc labeled albumin colloid each of 10 MBq. Dynamic and static imaging followed in the antero-posterior and lateral projections. At operation 1 ml of 2.5% Patent Blue Dye and a hand held gamma probe (Neoprobe 1500) were used in combination to identify and remove the SLN. Surgery then continued along conventional lines including a neck dissection. Histology of the resultant specimen was correlated with that of the SLN and pre-operative imaging. RESULTS: In all patients SLN harvesting was feasible. In 15/19 patients the SLN(s) and the residual neck dissection were -ve for tumour. In 3/19 patients the SLN(s) were +ve for tumour as were other neck nodes. In 1/19 patients the SLN was -ve but another single tumour +ve node was identified in the neck. This patient occurred early in our series with a SLN close to the primary tumour. (18)F-FDG PET failed to identify nodal disease in all four patients with histologically proven lymph node metastases. The size of these nodes ranged from 12 mm x 10 mm x 3 mm to 25 mm x 15 mm x 10 mm. CONCLUSION: SLN imaging and biopsy with probe and Patent Blue Dye guided harvest is feasible in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma and can predict cervical nodal status. (18)F-FDG PET may be less useful. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic value of the sentinel node method in patients suffering from squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract. In 50 patients with oral, pharyngeal or laryngeal carcinomas staged N0 up to 50 MBq technetium-99m colloid were injected peritumorally. Sentinel nodes were localised using a gamma-probe in the setting of an elective neck dissection. Pathological findings of sentinel nodes and corresponding neck specimens were compared. In 46 patients sentinel nodes were detected. Of these 34 patients were free of metastatic disease in the sentinel nodes and in the neck specimens. In 12 patients clinically occult metastases were found in the sentinel nodes. Three metastases were detected only after additional sectioning of the sentinel nodes. In four patients, a sentinel lymph node could not be localised. Our results support the sentinel node concept in head and neck cancer and a definition of the sentinel nodes as the three nodes with the highest activity. Careful clinical staging of the neck and thorough pathological evaluation of the sentinel nodes are necessary to avoid false-negative results. 相似文献

Node involvement is a major prognostic factor in head and neck cancers. Among N0 staged patients, because 15 to 30% have occult node metastasis, systematic radical modified neck dissection is frequently performed, although it is subsequently demonstrated to have been unnecessary in two thirds of the cases. With respect to minimal invasive surgery, an understanding of the head and neck lymphatic anatomy and experience of sentinel node biopsy in cutaneous melanoma and breast cancer endorse such an approach, particularly for T1–T2 N0 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and oropharynx. Progress in histological diagnosis is expected by way of targeted cervical lymphatic molecular analysis. 相似文献

In many patients, the sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the sole site of regional nodal metastasis. This subgroup of patients would not be expected to benefit from completion axillary lymph node dissection (CALND). This study evaluated the factors that may determine the likelihood of additional positive nodes in the axilla in the presence of sentinel node metastasis. A total of 618 breast cancer patients underwent SLN biopsy based on lymphoscintigraphy, intraoperative gamma probe detection, and blue dye mapping using 99mTc-nanocolloid and Patent Blue V injected peritumourally. This was followed by standard axillary node clearance at the same operation. Of the 201 patients with a positive SLN, 105 (52%) patients had no further positive nodes in the axilla, 96 (48%) patients had additional metastasis in non-sentinel lymph nodes (NSLN) upon CALND. In patients with a positive SLN, increasing tumour size and tumour grade significantly increased the frequency of additional positive nodes on univariate analysis. The number of SLNs removed and the number of negative SLNs were significant negative predictors. Increasing tumour burden in the sentinel nodes (determined by the number of positive SLNs) was significantly associated with increasing likelihood of positive NSLNs. Multivariate analysis revealed that the rest of the axilla is more likely to be positive if there are more positive than negative SLNs removed and more likely to be negative otherwise. A group of cases from one centre (Cardiff) were subjected to further detailed analysis. Tumour burden in the positive SLN was assessed by measuring the size of metastasis, percentage replacement of the SLN by tumour and by documenting extracapsular extension (ECE) around the SLN. Of the 64 patients with a positive SLN, 34 (53%) patients had no further positive nodes in the axilla, 30 patients (47%) had additional metastasis in NSLNs upon CALND. Increasing tumour burden in the SLN was associated with additional positive nodes in the axilla. Multivariate analysis revealed that size of the SLN metastasis is the most important predictor of involvement of only the SLN. Overall, in patients with a positive SLN, the difference in the number of positive and negative SLNs removed and size of the metastasis in the SLN, all predicted the frequency of additional positive nodes. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastasis is a well known feature of poor prognosis in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. However, a significant proportion of apparently lymph node negative patients die early of metastatic disease. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and prognostic significance of occult lymph node metastasis in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS: Lymph node sections from esophagectomy specimens of 78 patients with lymph node negative esophageal carcinoma (49 patients with adenocarcinoma and 29 with squamous cell carcinoma) were cut serially, it toto, and immunostained with the cytokeratin antibody AE1/AE3 and evaluated for occult lymph node metastasis. The results were correlated with the clinical and pathologic features and with patient survival. RESULTS: Fifteen of 49 patients (31%) with adenocarcinoma and 5 of 29 patients (17%) with squamous cell carcinoma had occult lymph node metastasis detected by cytokeratin staining. In the adenocarcinoma patients, the presence of occult lymph node metastasis showed a significant correlation with increasing depth of invasion, but was not associated significantly with any other clinical or pathologic feature. In the squamous cell carcinoma patients, the presence of occult lymph node metastasis did not correlate significantly with any clinical or pathologic parameter, except that patients with occult lymph node metastasis were more likely to have received preoperative chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Occult lymph node metastasis did not correlate with poorer survival rates in patients with either adenocarcinoma (Cox proportional hazards ratio: 1.42; P - 0.46) or squamous cell carcinoma (Cox proportional hazards ratio: 0.86; P = 0.90). CONCLUSIONS: Occult lymph node metastasis is not an independent poor prognostic feature in esophageal adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, the authors do not recommend extensive lymph node sectioning with keratin immunostaining for prognostication of patients with these malignancies. 相似文献

AIM: Currently there is no consensus on the optimal technique for sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification in patients with breast cancer. The aim was to compare the efficacy of intraparenchymal and intradermal isotope injection in sentinel lymph node mapping for breast cancer. METHODS: One hundred and twenty-five patients with histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer underwent SLN mapping using radioisotope and isosulphan blue dye followed by a back-up axillary dissection. The first 80 patients had intraparenchymal (IP) injection of radioisotope given in four portions around the tumor. The remaining 45 patients had an intradermal (ID) injection given at a single site over the tumour. Both groups had isosulphan blue dye injected around the tumour. Sentinel node(s) were identified using a combination of lymphoscintigraphy, blue dye and an intra-operative hand held gamma probe. RESULTS: The preoperative lymphoscintigram (LSG) demonstrated a SLN significantly more often in the ID isotope group compared to the IP isotope group (P=0.002). A combination of blue dye and isotope successfully located the SLN in 96% of the intraparenchymal group and 100% of the intradermal group. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that intradermal isotope injection in combination with intraparenchymal blue dye optimises the localization of the sentinel lymph node in breast cancer. 相似文献

背景与目的:区域淋巴结的转移状态是影响非小细胞肺癌(non-smallcelllungcancer,NSCLC)预后的重要因素之一。前哨淋巴结(sentinellymphnode,SLN)检测技术提供了一种术中快速高效检测淋巴结微转移的手段,但目前SLN技术应用于NSCLC尚不成熟。本实验旨在探索NSCLC根治术中SLN检测的可行性,评价SLN预测区域淋巴结转移状态的准确性。方法:应用染料法对50例NSCLC患者在根治术中于肺肿瘤边缘分4点(3、6、9、12点处)注入异硫蓝溶液4ml,进行SLN活检识别。结果:50例NSCLC患者中共有33例找到蓝染前哨淋巴结,检出率为66.0%。SLN发生于N1淋巴结24例(72.7%)、N2淋巴结6例(18.2%)、同时发生于N1和N2淋巴结3例(9.1%)。SLN识别的灵敏度为73.3%、假阴性率为26.7%、准确率为87.9%。结论:SLN对非小细胞肺癌肺门纵隔淋巴结转移具有预测性。 相似文献

AIMS: The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness and applicability of sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification in N0 carcinomas of the oral cavity and oropharynx. STUDY DESIGN: We carried out a prospective evaluation of SLN identification in 20 patients with oral cavity or oropharynx carcinomas with no clinical evidence of lymph node metastases. METHODS: Peritumoral infiltration with technetium-99-labeled nanocolloid followed by lymphoscintigraphy was carried out approximately 18 hours prior to surgery. A vital dye was injected intraoperatively and the SLN was identified with the aid of a gamma probe. All patients underwent routine neck dissection. RESULTS: While multiple radioactive nodes were generally identified on lymphoscintigraphy, the number of nodes ranging from one to five with variable degrees of uptake, intraoperative gamma probe scanning allowed the identification of a single more radioactive lymph node in 19 of the 20 patients. In only one patient did this method lead to the identification of two equally highly radioactive SLNs, with no uptake in the remaining nodes. All SLNs were ipsilateral to the neoplastic lesion. In 15 cases the SLN was tumor negative and so were the remaining nodes obtained by comprehensive neck dissection. In five cases the SLN was the only lymph node containing micrometastasis among those obtained by dissection. There were no instances of node positivity not involving the SLN. CONCLUSIONS: Sentinel lymph node identification in ENT surgery may indicate intraoperatively if node metastasis are present, thereby avoiding overtreatment in a substantial proportion of patients with N0 carcinomas of the oral cavity or oropharynx. 相似文献
