The Sentinel Lymph Node Concept in Oncologic
Surgery
• Lymphatic dissemination of solid tumors generally
occurs in a sequential fashion.
• Tumor status of regional lymph nodes is the most
important single prognostic factor for a variety of
solid tumors.
• Clinical evaluation and preoperative imaging are
generally ineffective in ascertaining tumor status of
regional lymph nodes in patients with early cancers.
• In traditional oncologic surgery, tumor status of a
certain lymphatic basin is assessed by complete
lymph node dissection and histologic analysis of all
resected lymph nodes.

The Sentinel Lymph Node Concept in Oncologic
Surgery
• Complete lymph node dissection is burdened with a
high rate of short- and long-term complcations.
• In the majority of patients with early cancers the
lymphatic basin of interest is free from metastasis,
therefore complete lymph node dissection turns out
to be have been performed unnecessarily.
• Histologic analysis of all resected lymph nodes (up
to 20 per basin) is a time-consuming procedure
involving a non-negligible risk of underestimating
metastatic involvement (only 2-3 sections evaluated
per lymph node).

The Sentinel Lymph Node Concept in Oncologic
Surgery
• According to orderly progression of lymphatic
metastasis, if the first lymph node encountered by
lymph draining from the tumor (the sentinel lymph
node) is free from metastasis, then it is highly
unlikely that subsequent nodes along the same
pathway contain metastasis.
• Therefore, complete lymph node dissection can be
replaced by the less aggressive selective resection
of the sentinel lymph node(s) only.
• Concentrating detailed histologic analysis on few
lymph nodes increases the chance of detecting
metastasis, even as isolated tumor cells.

The Sentinel Lymph Node Concept in Oncologic
Surgery
• A certain rate of false-negative results occur in
sentinel lymph node biopsy
• False-negative results are defined as the presence of
metastasis in non-sentinel lymph nodes when the
sentinel node does not contain metastasis.
• The above definition implies complete lymph node
dissection at the time of primary surgery.
• Alternatively, false-negative results are defined as
the appearance of metastasis during follow-up in a
lymphatic basin that had been classified as negative
on the basis of sentinel lymph node biopsy.

The Sentinel Lymph Node Concept in Oncologic
Surgery
• Despite a certain rate of false-negative results,
sentinel lymph node biopsy has proven to be a safe
and accurate method of lymphatic staging, mainly in
patients with early breast cancer or with melanoma.
• The most recent TNM classification includes
specific notation for sentinel lymph node status.
• Sentinel lymph node biopsy is now the accepted
standard of care for patients with early breast cancer
or with melanoma.
• All other applications are to be considered part of
clinical investigation protocols.

Intents of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
•For some tumors (such as breast cancer) sentinel
lymph node biopsy is performed with purely staging-
prognostic purposes.
•When metastasis is found in the sentinel lymph node,
completion lymphadenectomy of the lymphatic basin is
performed primarily for more accurate staging.
•Whereas, for other tumors (such as melanoma)
completion lymphadenectomy after finding a metastatic
sentinel lymph node is performed with therapeutic
purposes, as it increases the chance of achieving
better local control of the disease.

Radioguided Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
• Radioguidance is the most accurate method for
performing sentinel lymph node biopsy (combined
or not with visual blue-dye guidance).
• Lymphoscintigraphy with a radiocolloid agent
injected interstitially at the site of the primary tumor
is an integral component of radioguided sentinel
lymph node biopsy.
• Uptake of the radiocolloid reflects a physiologic
function of lymph nodes and in no way indicates the
presence of metastatic tumor cells.
• The presence of metastasis in sentinel node(s) is
ascertained by histologic analysis (H&E staining,
immunohistochemistry, molecular analysis).

Radioguided Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
• Intra-operative counting with the hand-held gamma
probe is the ultimate guidance for sentinel lymph
node biopsy.
• Nevertheless, preoperative lymphoscintigraphy is
crucial for correctly addressing the surgeon to the
most likely location of sentinel lymph node(s).
• This is especially important for patterns of lymphatic
drainage outside the expected basins, or for sentinel
nodes in unusual locations.
• Dynamic acquisition is more important for some
tumors (such as melanoma) rather than for other
tumors (such as breast cancer).

General Indications for SPECT/CT in Sentinel Lymph
Node Biopsy
• In cases without visualization or with poor visualization at planar
imaging. Due to the correction for tissue attenuation,
SPECT/CT is usually more sensitive than planar imaging, and
may be particularly useful in obese patients.
• Localization of SLNs in areas with complex anatomy and a high
number of lymph nodes, such as the head and neck, or in cases
with unexpected lymphatic drainage (e.g., between the pectoral
muscles, internal mammary chain, level II or III of the axilla, or
in the vicinity of the scapula) at planar imaging.
• Anatomical localization and detection of additional SLNs in
areas of deep lymphatic drainage such as the pelvis, abdomen,
or mediastinum.
