Sentinel node biopsy is a safe and feasible procedure for patients with synovial sarcoma. Further research is needed to establish its prognostic value and optimal treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue malignancy.
  • Accurate staging is crucial for treatment planning and prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the applicability and safety of sentinel node biopsy (SNB) in synovial sarcoma patients.
  • To assess the potential role of SNB in staging and management.

Main Methods:

  • 11 patients with synovial sarcoma underwent SNB following lymphoscintigraphy.
  • A gamma-probe was used for sentinel node identification and resection.
  • Histopathologic evaluation of sentinel nodes was performed.

Main Results:

  • Sentinel nodes were successfully identified in all patients.

  • One out of 15 sentinel nodes was positive for metastasis.
  • No complications were associated with the SNB procedure.
  • One patient with a negative SNB developed nodal metastases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sentinel node biopsy is technically feasible and safe in synovial sarcoma.
    • Further studies are necessary to determine the false-negative rate and prognostic implications.
    • Optimal treatment protocols based on SNB findings require further investigation.
