Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping In Gastric Cancer Surgery: Current Status
Lymphonodular metastases remain an important predictive and prognostic factor in gastric cancer development. The precise determination of the lymphonodular invasion stage can be made only by extended intraoperative lymphadenectomy and histopathological examination. But the main controversy is the usefulness of extended lymph dissection in early gastric cancer. This increases the duration of the...
متن کاملCurrent status and challenges in sentinel node navigation surgery for early gastric cancer
Although a number of feasibility studies for sentinel node (SN) concepts in gastric cancer have been conducted since 2000, there remains a debate regarding detailed detection techniques and oncological safety. Two important multicenter phase II clinical trials were performed in Japan that used different methods and reached different conclusions; one confirmed acceptable results with a false-neg...
متن کاملSentinel node navigation surgery in patients with early gastric cancer.
Clinical application of sentinel node (SN) mapping in patients with early gastric cancer has been a controversial issue for years. However, a recent meta-analysis and a prospective multicenter trial of SN mapping for early gastric cancer have shown acceptable SN detection rates and accuracy of determination of lymph node status. A dual-tracer method that utilizes radioactive colloids and blue d...
متن کاملSentinel node navigation surgery in early-stage esophageal cancer.
The sentinel node (SN) concept has revolutionized the surgical staging of both melanoma and breast cancer over the past two decades. However, the validity of the SN hypothesis has been controversial for esophageal cancer, because SN mapping for esophageal cancer is technically complicated, and the number of early-stage esophageal cancer is very limited. Nevertheless previous studies nicely demo...
متن کاملClinical application and outcomes of sentinel node navigation surgery in patients with early gastric cancer
Sentinel node navigation surgery (SNNS) has been recognized as a minimally invasive tool for individualized lymphadenectomy in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC). The aim of this study was to compare clinicopathological factors, adverse events, and clinical outcomes between sentinel node mapping (SNM) and SN dissection (SND) groups and assess the clinical utility of SNNS in patients with ...
