Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping is feasible in gastric cancer patients, potentially guiding lymph node dissection. Further research is needed to confirm its clinical impact.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping is a standard procedure for melanoma and breast cancer.
  • Its application in gastric cancer is a recent development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of SLN mapping in gastric cancer patients.

Main Methods:

  • Open intraoperative subserosal dye injection in four peritumoral points was performed in 43 gastric cancer patients.
  • Stained lymph nodes were identified 10 minutes post-injection and examined postoperatively.

Main Results:

  • SLN mapping was successful in 79.1% of patients, identifying an average of 2.85 SLNs.
  • The sensitivity was 86.9%, with a 100% positive predictive value and a 20.9% false negative rate.

Conclusions:

  • SLN mapping is a feasible and straightforward procedure for gastric cancer.
  • It may influence the extent of lymph node dissection and gastric resection.
  • Additional data are required to fully establish its role.
