子宮頸癌に対するSentinel Lymph Node Biopsyに関する予備検討

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Sentinel lymph node biopsies (SLNB) were investigated in 8 cases of uterine cervical cancer. The sentinel lymph node was detected by preoperative lymphoscintigraphy (6 cases), and intraoperative dye injection alone (5 cases) and combined techniques with the dye and gamma probe method (3 cases). The procedure was successful in all cases without any specific morbidity. Metastatic sentinel lymph node was observed in three cases and was confined to other nodes (identification rate, 100%). SLNB appears to be a feasible and promising technique, but requiring further evaluation before being considered a reliable method to spare pelvic lymphadenectomy in uterine cervical cancer.
