Lymphatic mapping and focused analysis of sentinel lymph nodes upstage gastrointestinal neoplasms.
BACKGROUND Lymph node analysis is essential for staging gastrointestinal (GI) neoplasms. Intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymphadenectomy were originally described for melanoma but have not yet been investigated for most GI neoplasms. HYPOTHESES (1) Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymphadenectomy is feasible in GI neoplasms, (2) the sentinel node (SN) status reflects the regional ...

متن کاملLymphoscintigraphy and intraoperative lymphatic mapping of sentinel lymph nodes in melanoma patients.
Identification of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) using lymphoscintigraphy, the blue dye technique and intraoperative lymphatic mapping with a gamma-detecting probe has become the standard of care in diagnosing and treating melanoma. Numerous clinical studies have proven the reliability of predicting the histology of remaining lymph nodes in the lymphatic basin from the histologic evaluation of the...

Received June 5, 2003; revision received October 30, 2003; accepted November 4, 2003. BACKGROUND. Desmoplastic and neurotropic melanoma (DNMM) occasionally metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and extranodal sites. The value of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has not been demonstrated clearly for patients with DNMM. The authors report on the utility of SLNB in the management of patients with ...
