Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy identifies metastatic cancer, reducing surgery side effects. SPECT/CT imaging is crucial for accurate SLN detection in prostate cancer, improving surgical guidance.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy aims to detect occult metastases in 20-25% of patients.
  • This technique minimizes morbidity associated with full lymphadenectomy.
  • SLN biopsy directs pathologists to nodes most likely to contain metastatic cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of SPECT/CT in improving SLN detection rates for prostate cancer.
  • To underscore the role of advanced imaging in overcoming challenges of pelvic lymphatic drainage.
  • To discuss the integration of new tracers and devices in SLN biopsy, especially with robotic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Pre-surgical lymphoscintigraphy as a navigational tool.
  • SPECT/CT imaging for enhanced SLN localization and anatomical definition.

  • Use of conventional and laparoscopic gamma probes for intraoperative guidance.
  • Integration of new tracers and devices with intraoperative imaging.

    • Main Results:

    • SPECT/CT significantly improves SLN detection rates and clarifies localization, especially in challenging cases.
    • Provides essential anatomical landmarks for surgeons, crucial for multidirectional pelvic drainage in prostate cancer.
    • Enables precise identification of SLNs near the injection site.

    Conclusions:

    • SPECT/CT should be mandatory for prostate cancer SLN biopsy to maximize detection and accuracy.
    • Advancements in tracers and devices, including intraoperative imaging, refine SLN biopsy.
    • Despite progress, wider clinical application of SLN biopsy in prostate cancer requires further discussion.
