Intraoperative Injection of Radiocolloid for Sentinel Node Biopsy in Breast Cancer

Abstract: The sentinel lymph node identification rate of 94.6% for the intraoperative injection group was similar to other published sentinel lymph node identification rates (96%-100%). The positive sentinel lymph node rate was also comparable to that of published series. Intraoperative injection of radiocolloid for axillary sentinel node biopsy appears equivalent to preoperative injection and is a less painful experience for breast cancer patients.

“…Of the 739 SNBs analyzed, 647 had PRCI and 92 had IRCI. The overall SNIDR were similar for the two groups: 93.5% for PRCI and 94.6% for IRCI [8]. The overall rates of positive sentinel nodes were comparable for the two groups: 25.6% for the PRCI group and 26.4% for the IRCI group.…”

“…>90%) is a prerequisite for safe diagnosis and therapy of diseases in oncology set-up. 14 The colloidal particles that exceed in size from 0.22 µm may block the blood capillaries and consequently lead to nonspecific accumulation and radiotoxicity, 15 while the free 99m TcO 4 −1 lead to nonspecific distribution throughout the body making high background activity and made confusion during locating the area of interest. 16 The least radioactive impurities greatly contribute in scintigraphy imaging and therapeutic outcome of newly developed radiopharmaceuticals.…”

“…A sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) has been established as the standard method for staging clinically node-negative breast cancer [1,2], and an SNB technique using superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles and a handheld magnetometer has been reported [3]. While the radioisotope (RI) and dyecombined method has been thought to be the standard, an SNB using SPIO has been adopted because the RI method has disadvantages of radiation exposure [4], regulations regarding radioisotope management [5], and painful tracer injection [6,7].…”
