Area of Science:

Oncology
Surgical Pathology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a critical technique for cancer staging.
Accurate identification of SLNs minimizes unnecessary lymph node removal and associated morbidity.
Evolving imaging technologies are vital for refining SLN biopsy procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the evolution and current state of SLN imaging techniques.
To highlight the importance of accurate SLN localization for effective cancer staging.
To discuss advancements in SLN imaging for various cancer types.

Main Methods:

Review of 22 years of sentinel lymph node biopsy technique evolution.
Analysis of preoperative lymphoscintigraphy (LS) with dynamic and delayed imaging (SPECT/CT) for melanoma and breast cancer.
Evaluation of near-infrared fluorophore techniques for visceral tumors.

Main Results:

Accurate SLN imaging enables precise surgical removal of only the true SLNs.
Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy with SPECT/CT yields optimal results for melanoma and breast cancer.
Near-infrared fluorescent imaging is emerging as a preferred technique for visceral tumors.

Conclusions:

Advanced SLN imaging techniques are essential for achieving accurate lymph node staging with minimal patient morbidity.
Current technologies allow for precise SLN definition, maximizing the benefits of SLN biopsy.
Technological advancements continue to improve SLN biopsy efficacy across different cancer types.
