“…In most of these attempts, commercially available, water-soluble non-particulate iodine contrast agent was used as a tracer [14][15][16][17]. However, CT lymphography using water-soluble non-particulate iodine contrast agent in gastric cancer patients has shown considerable differences in the detection rates of SLNs (28.6-83.3%) [15,17].…”

“…Preoperative SLN mapping via interstitial computed tomographic (CT) lymphography using radio-contrast agents is gaining interest because it may increase the detection rate of SLNs intraoperatively and it gives accurate anatomical information on SLNs [14][15][16][17]. Pretreatment identification of the SLNs in gastric cancer patients using CT lymphography may have great advantages for minimally invasive surgery.…”

Sentinel lymph node biopsy is an extensively explored diagnostic mean for reducing surgical risks while improving staging in different human malignancies. Several different techniques have been introduced to clinical use during last two decades. Methods as ink lymphography and lymphoscintigraphy have already established their position in sentinel nodes mapping. Novel approaches as CT, MRI-lymphography, contrast enhanced ultrasound and near-infrared fluorescence imaging possesses prominent potential advantages and demand further experience gaining. A review of the clinically utilized techniques is presented a special attention is drawn to their usefulness in the head and neck carcinomas work-up. Keywords

Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and computed tomography (CT) have become the gold standard for staging of esophageal cancer by detecting distant metastases, but metastatic lymph nodes are often difficult to diagnose from the size and standardized uptake value (SUV). If we compare the diagnostic performance of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), CT, and FDG-PET in staging of esophageal cancer, EUS is the most sensitive method to identify the detection of regional lymph node metastases, whereas CT and FDG-PET are more specific tests. Combination study with CT, EUS and PETCT cannot make a precise diagnosis after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). A precise staging might be determined by the fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) under EUS and US screening in the neck and the abdomen even after NAT. Indication of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial cancer is sensitive because of difficulty in T1b cancer diagnosis. Detailed examination about vessel invasion and the possibility of residual tumor with dissected specimen will offer an appropriate additional therapy. New strategy like sentinel lymph node (SLN) navigation could supply more information about lymphatic routes and metastatic nodes. SLN navigation with ESD might become a new less invasive strategy for superficial esophageal cancer.
