Since its first description in 1990, sentinel node (SN) biopsy has become the standard for accurate staging of a melanoma-draining regional lymphatic basin. This minimally invasive, multidisciplinary technique can detect occult metastases by selective sampling and focused pathologic analysis of the first nodes on the afferent lymphatic pathway from a primary cutaneous melanoma. An understanding of preoperative lymphoscintigraphy, intraoperative lymphatic mapping, and the definition of SN are critical for surgical expertise with SN biopsy.
自 1990 年首次描述以来,前哨淋巴结 (SN) 活检已成为黑色素瘤引流区域淋巴结准确分期的标准。这种微创、多学科的技术可以通过对原发性皮肤黑色素瘤顺行淋巴途径上的第一组淋巴结进行选择性取样和集中病理分析,来检测隐匿性转移。术前淋巴闪烁显像、术中淋巴定位和 SN 的定义对于 SN 活检的手术专业知识至关重要。
