846 Cancer-induced accelerated immunoaging in women suffering from ovarian cancer

Abstract

detected in 18/20 cases (90%) with exclusive paraortic drainage in 5/18 (28%), pelvic in 1/18 (6%) and in both territories in 12/18 (66%). Overall para-aortic drainage was observed in 17/18 (94%) patients (35% supramesenteric, 30% at the level of the inferior mesenteric artery, and 35% inframesenteric). 100% of aortic SLNs were detected with a gamma probe after being visualized with the gamma camera. In the 8 patients who underwent lymphadenectomy, 1 case had positive nodes diagnosed by ultrastaging and the rest of the lymph nodes were negative. No complications related to the technique were observed. Conclusion* The SLN technique is feasible and safe. The intraoperative gamma camera shows the lymphatic map and is especially useful in the paraortic region.
