Node Biopsy

Sentinel node biopsy has become a standard diagnostic procedure to assess lymph node status of various tumors. The combination of blue dye and a radioactive tracer offers the best chances of identifying the sentinel lymph node. Most progress in the technique of the sentinel node procedure has been made in melanoma and breast cancer. In melanoma, sentinel node biopsy has been introduced as a fundamental procedure for staging. Information on the lymphatic drainage from a melanoma can have a direct impact on the surgery. More recently, the technique has been successfully introduced in the management of breast cancer, in which a large number of unnecessary axillary dissections could be avoided. However, there are many other potential fields of application of the sentinel node biopsy (e.g. endometrial, vulvar, head and neck cancers) that are worthy of investigation. In any case, multicenter trials are required to standardize the procedures, taking into account several variables such as particle size and mode of delivery of the radiotracer, amount of radioactivity administered, number and location of injections, and choice of the hand-held probe. We briefly describe the technical and historical aspects of the sentinel node biopsy and summarize the main clinical trials proposed and/or performed in the field.
