“…Many authors from Asia have reported accuracies of more than 96% [1,6,9], particularly with EGC. However, several series from Western countries have reported an SLN mapping accuracy of 80%, with a false-negative rate (FNR) ranging from 15 to 20% [7,[10][11][12].…”

“…O número médio de LFNsn foi de 3,2 por paciente, número semelhante ao da maioria dos estudos que utilizaram o corante [5][6][7][8][9]13,14 . O emprego exclusivo do corante ou os dois métodos associados demonstrou ser adequado em várias publicações 5,6,8,10,[11][12][13][14]28 .…”

“…Many authors from Asia reported an accuracy of more than 98% [17][18][19], in particular in early stages (T1-T2) [20], whereas in our study as well as important series from other Western countries the accuracy was about 80% [21][22][23], with the false negative SLN rate ranging from 15% to 20% [21][22][23]. In fact, although only 43% of our patients had T1 tumours, a low percentage compared to about 80% reported in studies from the Far East [17][18][19][20], false negative SLNs were detected in two patients with T1 tumours and three patients with T2 tumours, and always in tumours of less than 5 centimetres, so the difference between our results and those from the Far East cannot be explained by a selection of patients with advanced local stage in our series. This large difference between Eastern and Western results might be related to the number of harvested SLNs; in our series the median number of SLNs was two (range 1-3) per patient, while Miwa reported an average number of six SLNs [18], and Ishizaki 6.5 [24].…”
