The diagnostic performance of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence-guided sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for the presence of metastases in breast cancer remains unclear.
We performed a meta-analysis to investigate the diagnostic performance of ICG-guided SLNB.
Eligible studies were identified from searches of the databases PubMed and EMBASE up to September 2015. Studies that reported the detection rate of ICG fluorescence-guided SLNB with full axillary lymph node dissection and histological or immunohistochemical examinations were included. A meta-analysis was performed to generate pooled detection rate, sensitivity, specificity, false negative rate, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and a summary receiver operator characteristic curve (SROC).
Nineteen published studies were included to generate a pooled detection rate, comprising 2594 patients. The pooled detection rate was 0.98 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.96-0.99). Six studies finally met the criteria for meta-analysis, which yielded a pooled sensitivity of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.85-0.96), specificity 1 (95% CI, 0.97-1), and DOR 311.47 (95% CI, 84.11-1153.39). The area under the SROC was 0.9758. No publication bias was found.
ICG fluorescence-guided SLNB is viable for detection of lymph node metastases in breast cancer. Large-scale randomized multi-center trials are necessary to confirm our results.
吲哚菁绿(ICG)荧光引导下前哨淋巴结活检(SLNB)对乳腺癌转移灶的诊断效能仍不明确。
我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以研究ICG引导下SLNB的诊断效能。
通过检索截至2015年9月的PubMed和EMBASE数据库来确定符合条件的研究。纳入报告了ICG荧光引导下SLNB联合腋窝淋巴结清扫及组织学或免疫组化检查的检出率的研究。进行荟萃分析以得出合并检出率、敏感性、特异性、假阴性率、诊断比值比(DOR)和汇总受试者工作特征曲线(SROC)。
纳入19项已发表的研究以得出合并检出率,共2594例患者。合并检出率为0.98(95%置信区间[CI],0.96 - 0.99)。最终有6项研究符合荟萃分析标准,得出合并敏感性为0.92(95%CI,0.85 - 0.96),特异性为1(95%CI,0.97 - 1),DOR为311.47(95%CI,84.11 - 1153.39)。SROC曲线下面积为0.9758。未发现发表偏倚。
ICG荧光引导下SLNB对检测乳腺癌淋巴结转移是可行 的。需要进行大规模随机多中心试验来证实我们的结果。
