Radio Immuno Guided Surgery (RIGS) offers a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosing and treating breast and colorectal cancers. This technique aids in accurately locating cancerous tissues, improving surgical outcomes for various oncologic conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Radio Immuno Guided Surgery (RIGS) is a versatile oncologic technique.
  • It involves a collaborative effort between nuclear physicians and surgeons.
  • The method utilizes radiotracers, including colloid radiotracers, monoclonal antibodies, and non-immunological tracers.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the application and effectiveness of RIGS in a clinical setting.
  • To assess RIGS for Radioguided Occult Lesion Localization (ROLL) and Sentinel Lymph-Node Biopsy (SLNB) in breast cancer.
  • To explore RIGS for staging primary and recurrent colorectal cancers.

Summary:

  • RIGS was applied to 281 patients with breast (256) or colorectal (25) cancer.
  • Monoclonal antibodies (ArcitumoMab 99mTc-labelled) were used for colorectal cancer, and 99mTc-labelled human serum albumin aggregates for breast lesions (ROLL and SLNB).

  • Pathologic sites were successfully detected during surgery in all cases, confirming RIGS's utility for localization and staging.

    • Impact:

    • RIGS facilitates radical surgical and oncologic treatment for localized and recurrent cancers.
    • The study suggests RIGS is indicated for ROLL and SLNB, and beneficial for colorectal cancer staging.
    • Further prospective studies are recommended to determine survival rates and overall usefulness.
