“…Se realizó LDNP extendida de forma complementaria a la LDNP del GC en 228 hombres con cáncer de próstata de alto riesgo 13 . De estos pacientes, 96 tuvieron metástasis ganglionares, y tan sólo en 2 no se detectaron mediante la LDNP del GC.…”

“…El tiempo medio de cirugía fue de 51 minutos (28-97). Se obtuvieron un total de 540 GC con una mediana de 4 por paciente (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). La correlación entre la localización del GC preoperatoria e intraoperatoria mediante gammagrafía y metástasis ganglionares fue del 79% (15/19) y 90% (17/19) respectivamente.…”

“…Another shortcoming is that the small number of patients included leads to a wide confidence interval for the estimate of the sensitivity of the method. Also, a general limitation of the SN technique is that in some patients with large lymph node metastases, it is not possible to identify the true SNs due to the presence of tumour cells obstructing the lymphatic vessels, causing a re-routing of the lymphatic pathways and thereby false-negative SNs (30).…”

“…The false-negative rate was shown to correlate with Gleason scores [21]; patients with high-risk disease could thus have both positive SLNs and positive non-SLNs or LNI only in non-SLNs. In a study by Weckermann et al, only positive non-SLNs were identified (false-negative results) by radioisotope-guided sPLND in two of 96 men with positive LNs (2.1%) [24]. Therefore, a lower median sensitivity and a higher false-negative rate was observed in studies including only patients at higher risk of LNI [11].…”
