A macrophage-specific fluorescent probe for intraoperative lymph node staging.
Successful identification of nodal metastases in patients with cancer is crucial to prescribe suitable treatment regimens that can improve recurrence-free survival. Although some new imaging technologies for nodal staging have been developed, such as nanoparticle-enhanced MRI and quantum-dot-based fluorescence imaging, sound technologies for intraoperative differentiation of metastatic and infl...
متن کاملAction point: intraoperative lymph node staging.
When performing a lung cancer resection in patients who are technically and functionally operable, complete resection remains a major prognostic factor. Although still a controversial topic, specific criteria have been published to precisely define a complete resection [1]. These include that a systematic nodal dissection has been performed or at least, a lobe-specific nodal dissection. In both...
متن کاملMonte Carlo-based optimization of a gamma probe system for sentinel lymph node mapping
Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a standard surgical technique to identify sentinel lymph node (SLN) for the staging of early breast cancer. Nowadays, two methods are used for the identification of SLN: blue dye method aiding visually and radioactive dye using gamma detector. A wide range of gamma probe systems with different design and performance are used in...
متن کاملESTS guidelines for intraoperative lymph node staging in non-small cell lung cancer.
The European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) organized a workshop dealing with lymph node staging in non-small cell lung cancer. The objective of this workshop was to develop guidelines for definitions and the surgical procedures of intraoperative lymph node staging, and the pathologic evaluation of resected lymph nodes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Relevant peer-revi...
متن کاملNovel Handheld Magnetometer Probe Based on Magnetic Tunnelling Junction Sensors for Intraoperative Sentinel Lymph Node Identification
Using magnetic tunnelling junction sensors, a novel magnetometer probe for the identification of the sentinel lymph node using magnetic tracers was developed. Probe performance was characterised in vitro and validated in a preclinical swine model. Compared to conventional gamma probes, the magnetometer probe showed excellent spatial resolution of 4.0 mm, and the potential to detect as few as 5 ...
