The purpose was to investigate the diagnostic performance of bimodal optical and radio-guided sentinel node biopsy (SNB) for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) sub-sites in the anterior oral cavity.
Prospective study of 50 consecutive patients with cN0 OSCC scheduled for SNB was injected with the tracer complex Tc99m:ICG:Nacocoll. A near-infrared camera was applied for optical SN detection. Endpoints were modality for intraoperative SN detection and false omission rate at follow-up.
In all patients, a SN could be detected. In 12/50 (24%) of cases, the SPECT/CT showed no focus in level 1, but intraoperatively a SN in level 1 was optically detected. In 22/50 cases (44%), an additional SN was identified only due to the optical imaging. At follow-up, the false omission rate was 0%.
Optical imaging appears to be an effective tool to allow real-time SN identification comprising level 1 unaffected by possible interference of radiation site from the injection.
旨在研究双模式光学和放射性示踪前哨淋巴结活检(SNB)在口腔前腔 OSCC 亚部位的诊断性能。
对 50 例拟行 SNB 的 cN0 口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)连续患者进行前瞻性研究,注入示踪复合物 Tc99m:ICG:Nacocoll。应用近红外摄像机进行光学 SN 检测。终点是术中 SN 检测的方式和随访时的假遗漏率。
在所有患者中,均可检测到 SN。在 50 例中的 12 例(24%),SPECT/CT 显示 1 级无焦点,但术中光学检测到 1 级的 SN。在 22/50 例(44%)中,仅由于光学成像才能识别出额外的 SN。随访时,假遗漏率为 0%。
光学成像似乎是一种有效的工具,可实时识别 SN,包括不受注射部位辐射干扰的 1 级。
