Abstract 49. ICG Fluorescence with Lymphoscintigraphy for Sentinel Node Biopsy in Head and Neck Cutaneous Melanoma: A Reproducible, Reliable Means to Improve False Negative Rates

چکیده
PURPOSE: Head and neck melanoma is associated with a high false negative sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) rate. Our group previously demonstrated the combination of radiotracer and ICG SPY Elite navigation system was feasible and more sensitive compared to standard vital dye and radioactive tracer for SLNB. The goal of this report was to analyze our experiences utilizing ICG fluorescence with lymphoscintigraphy for SLNB in head and neck cutaneous melanoma.

متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy using real-time fluorescence navigation with indocyanine green in cutaneous head and neck/lip mucosa melanomas.
BACKGROUND The triple technique (lymphoscintigraphy, patent-blue staining, and a gamma probe) constitutes a reliable method for the sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. However, in head and neck melanomas, a shine-through phenomenon, which occurs because these SLNs are close to the primary focus, is irreversibly problematic. To get around the shine-through phenomenon, this study uses the fluoresce...
متن کاملLymphatic drainage patterns of head and neck cutaneous melanoma observed on lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate lymphatic drainage patterns of head and neck cutaneous melanoma observed on preoperative lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and determine discordancy from clinically predicted lymphatic drainage patterns. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of 114 patients with head and neck cutaneous melanomas evaluated ...
متن کاملReliability of sentinel lymph node mapping with biopsy for head and neck cutaneous melanoma.
OBJECTIVES To determine (1) the reliability of sentinel lymph node mapping with biopsy (SLNB) in head and neck cutaneous melanoma to accurately stage nodal basins and (2) the safety of SLNB in both the neck and parotid regions. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study with a median follow-up of 25 months. All patients had a minimum follow-up of 1 year. SETTING Academic medical center. PATIENTS E...
