Sentinel Lymph Node Evaluation in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

Abstract: SLN evaluation in N0 neck in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is accurately feasible and seems to adequately predict the presence of occult metastasis.

“…These results are comparable to the findings of other groups also applying radiological criteria for staging (Stoeckli et al, 2001;Barzan et al, 2002;Werner et al, 2002a). The better the staging methods are in detecting small metastases, the less occult metastases will be overlooked and the more valuable will be the impact of an additional sentinel lymph-node procedure.…”

“…Studies applying a radiolabelled tracer with or without additional blue dye, however, were promising. The majority of the studies reported results favouring the sentinel lymph-node concept (Koch et al, 1998;Shoaib et al, 1999Shoaib et al, , 2001Alex et al, 2000;Zitsch et al, 2000;Mozzillo et al, 2001;Stoeckli et al, 2001Stoeckli et al, , 2002Barzan et al, 2002;Werner et al, 2002a, b). Groups who worked with blue dye report of an extravasation of the blue dye into the tissue (Pitman et al, 2002).…”

“…Mapping is performed using preoperative lymphoscintigraphy and a g-counting probe (62). Imaging procedures are similar to those used for breast cancer and melanoma, including dynamic and planar imaging and skin marking.…”

“…Lymph nodes can often be adequately localized with planar imaging alone (62,63). However, the anatomic complexity of the head and neck and the proximity of some primary lesions to SLNs and other important structures suggest SPECT/CT should be included in some cases (64,65).…”
