ABSTRACT
Introducción y objetivo: En el cáncer de pulmón la afectación ganglionar mediastínica puede estar infraestadificada (hasta en el 20% de los casos en estadios i). La detección del ganglio centinela es una técnica estándar en las guías de actuación del cáncer de mama y melanoma y podría ser útil en el cáncer de pulmón. Material y métodos: Con la hipótesis de que es factible la detección del ganglio centinela en el cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas (CPCNP) resecable, se realizó un estudio de cohortes prospectivo en 48 pacientes con CPCNP resecables utilizando la inyección intraoperatoria de tecnecio 99 sulfato coloide. Resultados: El radioisótopo migró en todos los casos. La sensibilidad de la prueba es del 88,24% y la precisión del 95,83%, con un valor predictivo negativo del 93,94% y una tasa de falsos negativos del 11,76%. No existieron complicaciones relacionadas con la técnica. Conclusiones: La detección del ganglio centinela en el CPCNP con inyección intraoperatoria de isótopos es factible y segura, y permite tasas de detección y sensibilidad superponibles a las de otros tipos de tumor (AU)
Introduction and objective: Mediastinal lymph node involvement can be understaged in cases of lung cancer (up to 20% in stage i). Sentinel node detection is a standard technique recommended in breast cancer and melanoma action guidelines, and could also be useful in cases of lung cancer. Material and methods: Considering the detection of the sentinel node in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as feasible, a prospective cohort study was carried out on 48 patients with resectable NSCLC, using the intraoperative injection of colloid sulphate technetium-99. Results: The radioisotope migrated in all cases. The procedures sensitivity was 88.24%, its accuracy was 95.83%, its negative predictive value was 93.94% and the false negative rate was 11.76%. No complications were associated with this technique. Conclusions: The detection of a sentinel node in NSCLC with the intraoperative injection of the isotope is feasible and safe, and allows for detection and sensitivity rates comparable to those of other tumour types (AU)

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of sentinel node biopsy (SNB) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). DESIGN: A prospective study of a cohort of 25 consecutive patients with OSCC anatomopathological confirmation through biopsy, without oncological pre-treatment, in clinical stage T1-T4N0, of these 25 patients 14 were T1-T2N0. The absence of regional disease (N0) was determined by means of clinical exploration and cervical tomography (CT). To establish the overall sensitivity of the technique, a meta-analysis was carried out of 10 series published to February 2005 where SNB had been applied to head and neck cancer, adding our 14 T1-T2N0 cases, thus making a total of 260 patients. RESULTS: Identification by SNB was accurate in 96% of the 25 cases, with a sensitivity of 66.7%. Analyzing only the T1-T2N0 cases (n=14), the accuracy was 100% with a sensitivity of 1 (CI 95%, 0.29-1.00). The overall sensitivity was 93%. The accuracy in identifying the sentinel node varied between 66% and 100%. The SN was identified in 251 of 260 cases, of those, 71 were true positive, 5 false negative and 175 true negative. The overall sensitivity was 93.4% (CI 95%, 85.3-97.8), with a specificity of 100% (CI 95%, 0.98-100). The weighted negative probability quotient was 0.176 (CI 0.103-0.301) and that of positive probability 24.75 (CI 95%, 10.8-56.71). The weighted diagnostic odds ratio was 183.71 (CI 95%, 59.36-568.56). If we accept that the prevalence of hidden regional disease is 30%, a negative sentinel node has 5% possibility of having hidden disease. CONCLUSIONS: Our data provide a certain degree of evidence that, due to its high sensitivity, the SNB procedure can be applied to the initial stages of OSCC.

Objetivos: Evaluar la efectividad de la biopsia del ganglio centinela (BGC) en el carcinoma oral de células escamosas (COCE). Diseño: Estudio prospectivo, de una cohorte consecutiva de 25 pacientes con COCE confirmado anatomopatológicamentemediante biopsia, sin tratamiento oncológico previo, en estadiaje clínico T1-T4N0, de estos 25 pacientes 14 fueron T1-T2N0. La ausencia de enfermedad regional (N0) se determinó mediante exploración clínica y TC cervical. Para establecer globalmente la sensibilidad de la técnica se ha realizado un estudio con técnicas de metaanálisis de 10 series publicadas hasta febrero de 2005, que han aplicado BGC en el cáncer de cabeza y cuello, a la que hemos sumado nuestros 14 casos T1-T2N0 lo que hace un total de 260 pacientes. Resultados: En los 25 casos la exactitud en la identificacióndel BCG fue del 96% con una sensibilidad del 66.7%. Si únicamente analizamos los casos T1-T2N0 (n=14), nuestra exactitud en la identificación fue del 100% siendo la sensibilidad de 1 (IC 95%, 0.29-1.00). La sensibilidad global fue del 93%. La exactitud en la identificación del ganglio centinela varió entre el 66% y 100%. Se identifico el GC en 251 de 260 casos, de los que 71 fueron verdaderos positivos, 5 falsos negativos y 175 verdaderos negativos. La sensibilidad global fue del 93,4% (IC 95%, 85,3-97,8) con una especificidad de 100% (IC 95%, 0,98 -100). El cociente de probabilidad negativo ponderado fue de 0,176 (IC 0,103-0,301) y el de probabilidad positivo fue de 24,75 (IC 95%, 10,8- 56,71). La odds ratio diagnóstica ponderada fue de 183,71 (IC 95%, 59,36-568,56). Si aceptamos que la prevalencia de enfermedad regional oculta es del 30%, un ganglio centinela informado como negativo tiene un 5% de posibilidades de tener enfermedad oculta. Conclusiones: Nuestros datos aportan un cierto nivel de evidencia que el BGC es un procedimiento que por su elevada sensibilidad, puede ser aplicada en los estadios iniciales del COCE
