Regional metastases are a prominent feature of mucosal‐associated head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and are an important prognostic factor. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is one modality that has potential to add to the accuracy of neck staging, although it is currently not used as widely in the head and neck as it is in other areas such as breast cancer. We review the efficacy of SLNB in head and neck mucosal squamous cell carcinomas and provide an overview of current practice and include details of technical advances.  相似文献

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is an accurate staging procedure for malignant melanoma but its use in patients with melanoma of the head and neck has been questioned in the past because of a perceived record of poor safety and accuracy. Technical improvements have sought to redress this. Vital structures and variable lymphatic pathways can make its use in the head and neck challenging. In our study we have examined the data and the experiences of clinicians from University Hospital Southampton and the Royal Surrey County Hospital. We retrospectively analysed the data and case notes of 143 patients who had SLNB to establish its safety, efficacy, and prognostic value. The detection rate of at least one sentinel lymph node was 100%. Nodes positive for metastatic melanoma were found in 20% of patients. Of them, 76% went on to have completion lymphadenectomy. Multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that positive SLNB was a strong predictor of reduced overall survival for all Breslow-thickness melanomas (HR = 3.9, p = 0.019) and intermediate melanomas (HR = 6.3, p = 0.007). It predicted reduced recurrence-free survival for all melanomas (HR = 7.4, p < 0.001) and was a strong predictor for those of intermediate thickness (HR = 8.3, p < 0.001). The false negative rate was 9.4% and false omission rate 2.6%. Temporary and permanent morbidity rates were 2.1% and 0%, respectively. SLNB for melanoma in the head and neck is a safe, accurate staging procedure that offers prognostically useful information. The upstaging of disease allows access to trial-based targeted treatments.  相似文献

The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse a consecutive series of patients with oral and oropharyngeal carcinoma who had had sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) at our hospital during 2008-2017. A total of 70 patients with clinically and radiologically confirmed primary oral (n = 67) or oropharyngeal (n = 3) carcinoma, with no signs of metastatic lymph nodes preoperatively (clinically N0) were included. Patients’ clinical and personal data, characteristics of the tumours, sentinel lymph node (SLN) status and outcomes were recorded. Eight patients had invaded SLN. Two patients with clear sentinel lymph node biopsies had recurrences in the cervical lymph nodes with no new primary tumour as origin. The negative predictive value (NPV) and sensitivity for SLNB were 97% and 80%, respectively. The depth of invasion was an individual predictor for cervical lymph node metastasis (p = 0.043). Single photo emission computed tomography (SPECT) detected fewer SLN in patients with invaded lymph nodes than in patients with clear lymph nodes (p = 0.018).Our data support the use of SLNB as a minimally invasive method for staging the cervical lymph nodes among patients with cN0 oral and oropharyngeal carcinoma. Our results further confirm that greater depth of invasion is associated with cervical lymph node metastases.  相似文献

IntroductionHead and neck mucosal melanoma (HNMM) is a rare tumor with a poor outcome. The objective of this study was to assess outcome and prognostic factors for a cohort of patients treated in a head and neck cancer center. In addition, a case series on sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was included to evaluate it as a method for staging the node-negative neck.MethodsA retrospective study design was chosen, and 50 patients who were treated from 1973 to 2015 in our institution for primary HNMM were included. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to estimate survival rates. Uni- and multivariate analyses were used to study the influence of possible risk factors on the patients' outcome. These risk factors included patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and treatment modalities.ResultsAll patients were treated surgically and 50% received adjuvant treatment. The median disease specific survival (DSS) was 38 months, with a 5-year survival rate of 44%. Positive surgical margin (p = 0.004) and distant failure (p = 0.005) were associated with a worse DSS. The median disease-free survival (DFS) was 27 months, with a 5-year disease-free rate of 12%. Only tumor depth >5 mm (p = 0.002) was associated with a worse DFS. Five clinically node-negative patients received SLNB and only the two SLN-positive individuals suffered from distant failure. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and AJCC/UICC stage had no influence on any outcome measure.ConclusionsPositive surgical margin and distant failure are the only independent prognostic factors for DSS. Tumor depth can predict distant failure. SLNB may be a valuable staging tool for the node-negative neck.  相似文献

Purpose

The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of cervical sentinel lymph node biopsy after mapping with indocyanine green fluorescence (ICG) for imaging early-stage oral cancer.

Patients and methods

A sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was performed during a selective neck dissection (SND) in 20 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC, cT1 or cT2, N0 status). The sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) were identified using an infrared video camera after ICG injection. Lymph nodes were examined histologically. The endpoint of this study was to investigate the rate of false-negative results in SLNB.

Results

Sentinel lymph nodes could be detected after 8.1 min (range 1–22 min). In eight out of 20 cases, lymph node metastases were found during histopathological evaluation of the neck dissection specimen. In four cases a metastasis could be found in the detected SLN (sensitivity 50%). In the other four cases metastases were found in different lymph nodes. Specificity was 100%, positive predictive value 100%, and negative predictive value 75%.

Conclusion

In this study, reliability of sentinel lymph node biopsy after ICG imaging could not be verified, as there were false-negative results in 50% of the cases. Therefore, SND can still be recommended as for patients with cT1 or cT2 OSCC, and a N0 neck status.  相似文献

Sentinel node biopsy is being increasingly used as a staging tool for mucosal head and neck cancer. This review of the literature summarizes the results of research into the procedure when it has been performed in three main contexts: as part of an ipsilateral neck dissection, as a stand-alone procedure to stage the neck for positive or negative disease, and as a means of investigating the non-involved or contralateral neck in tumors close to or crossing the midline. The role of the procedure is discussed and the difficulties encountered are expanded, with a particular emphasis on pitfalls of the technique, caveats, and its potential role for the future.  相似文献

IntroductionHead and neck melanoma compromises a group of aggressive tumours with varying clinical courses. This analysis was performed to find anatomic and clinicopathological parameters predictive for lymph node metastasis and overall survival.Material and methodsData and outcome of 246 patients with a malignant melanoma in the head and neck region were retrospectively analyzed for predictive parameters.ResultsLentigo maligna melanoma (n = 115) was the most frequent histology, followed by superficial spreading (n = 63) and nodular melanoma (n = 52). More than half of the melanomas (n = 138) were in the face. Tumours of the face and anterior scalp metastasized to lymph nodes of the neck and parotid gland, whereas tumours of the posterior scalp and neck also metastasized to the nuchal region. Advanced Clark level, presence of tumour ulceration and younger age were the strongest predictors of lymph node metastasis in multivariate regression analysis (p < 0.05), but anatomic site, histological subtype and tumour thickness were also associated with lymph node metastasis. Lymph node metastases, distant metastases, ulceration, nodular subtype and non-facial site of origin were the strongest negative prognostic parameters for disease-specific overall survival (p < 0.05). In contrast, the width of resection margin (<1 cm vs. 1–2 cm vs. >2 cm) did not correlate with tumour recurrence and overall survival (p > 0.05).ConclusionHistological subtype diagnosis, anatomic site of origin as well as the established factors tumour thickness, ulceration and depth of invasion are prognostic indicators of cervical lymph node metastasis and overall survival. A resection margin of at least 1 cm seems sufficient in head and neck melanoma. The status of sentinel lymph node biopsy and neck dissection has to be proven within the next years.  相似文献

PurposeThis study evaluated the usefulness of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy with preoperative computed tomographic lymphography (CTL) and intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging for N0 early tongue cancer.MethodsTwenty-seven patients with N0 early oral tongue cancer underwent CTL with a 128-slice multi-detector row CT scanner to detect SLN on the day before resection of primary tumor and SLN biopsy under ICG fluorescence guidance. We identified the location and number of SLNs mapped by CTL and evaluated whether CTL-enhanced SLNs could be identified intraoperatively as ICG fluorescent lymph nodes. Prognosis was also evaluated.ResultsSLNs were detected by CTL in 26 of 27 patients (96.3%). The total and mean numbers of SLNs were 41 and 1.5, respectively. All SLNs enhanced by CTL could be identified intraoperatively as ICG fluorescent lymph nodes. Two SLNs were found under ICG fluorescent guidance in only one patient without SLN enhanced by CTL. Among the 27 patients, five (18.5%) had SLN with metastasis. Median follow-up was 76 months (range 44–82 months). During follow-up, three of 22 patients without SLN metastasis had occult cervical lymph node metastasis. The 5-year overall survival rate was 100%.ConclusionSLN biopsy with preoperative CTL and intraoperative ICG fluorescence imaging is a feasible and reliable procedure, without radioisotope tracers, for neck management in cases of early tongue cancer.  相似文献

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for staging oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients presenting with early (T1 and T2 N0) disease in preference to elective neck dissection (END) remains controversial worldwide. A retrospective analysis of 145 patients who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy for a previously untreated early oral cancer between 2010 and 2020 was performed. The primary outcome measures were predictors of occult metastases, accuracy of SLNB and disease specific plus overall survival. The negative predictive value, the false negative rate, and sensitivity for SLNB were 97%, 7.8%, and 92%, respectively. Depth of invasion (DOI) was a significant predictor of N status, overall survival, and disease specific survival. There was a significant difference in the incidence of the neck node metastasis in patients with DOI <5mm compared to those with DOI >5mm. For tumours >5mm there was a moderate to good correlation between radiological depth on contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and histopathological DOI. Preoperative estimation of DOI may be a useful tool in the counselling of patients in the selection of either SLNB or END for N staging purposes in early OSCC.  相似文献

Radioimmunodiagnosis of lymph node metastases in head and neck cancer   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
INTRODUCTION: Reliable staging of the neck remains a diagnostic challenge in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against tumour-associated antigens can be used for selective tumour targeting. When labelled with a gamma-emitting radionuclide like 99mTechnetium, such MAbs can be used for tumour detection by radioimmunoscintigraphy (RIS). OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the potential of RIS for the detection of lymph node metastases in HNSCC patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 49 patients with HNSCC, who were scheduled to undergo surgery including neck dissection, RIS using 99mTc-labelled squamous cell specific MAb E48 or U36 administered intravenously was compared with clinical palpation, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathological outcome. RESULTS: RIS detected lymph node metastases in 35 of 51 positive sides (sensitivity 69%). Interpretation of RIS was correct in 47 of 65 sides (accuracy 72%). Accuracy of palpation, CT and MRI were comparable. Immunohistochemical staining of lymph node metastases missed by RIS showed that the injected MAb had targeted these small tumour deposits but these were not visualized. CONCLUSIONS: RIS at its current stage of development is not superior to CT or MRI for the detection of lymph node metastases. As small tumour deposits were probably not visualized because of the limited sensitivity and/or spatial resolution of the gamma camera, positron emission tomography (PET) using MAbs labelled with positron emitters may improve the detection. As MAb-PET studies in an animal model showed promising results we will soon start a clinical MAb-PET study.  相似文献

Patients undergoing sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) for early oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) who harbour occult metastases (pN+ve) may be at greater risk of mortality due to prolonged overall treatment times than those identified as pN+ve on elective neck dissection (ELND). A retrospective comparative survival analysis was therefore undertaken to test this hypothesis. Patients were identified from the South Glasgow multidisciplinary team (MDT) database. Group 1 comprised 38 patients identified as pN+ve, or who were false negative, on sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Group 2 comprised 146 patients staged pN+ve on ELND. The groups were compared with the Kaplan Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model. In addition, a matched-pair analysis was performed. A unique and specifically designed algorithm was deployed to optimise the pairings. No difference in disease-specific or overall survival was found between the groups. Patients undergoing SLNB as the initial neck staging modality in early OSCC and are identified as pN+ve do not appear to be at a survival disadvantage compared with those staged with ELND.  相似文献

Sentinel node biopsy (SNB) is considered a feasible neck staging tool in early oral squamous cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to compare postoperative morbidity in patients who had undergone SNB and elective neck dissection (END). Seventy-three consecutive patients were included between the years 2005 and 2009. The patients were divided into two groups according to neck management: SNB and END groups. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was used to compare disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) between the groups. Shoulder function, length of the surgical scar, and the degree of cervical lymphoedema were assessed. Neck haematoma and the presence of oro-cervical communication were also analyzed. Thirty-two patients underwent SNB and 41 underwent an END (levels I–III). Seven regional recurrences were recorded in the END group. Three neck recurrences occurred in the SNB group. No significant differences were found in DFS or OS between the groups. There were statistically significant differences between the groups in shoulder function and average scar length. However, differences in degree of lymphoedema were not statistically significant. Neck hematomas and oro-cervical communications occurred only in the END group. From this study, it can be concluded that SNB presents less postoperative morbidity than END.  相似文献
