RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this prospective study was to analyze the safety of methylene blue dye (MBD) and compare its efficacy with that of isotopic mapping for sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification in breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The SLN procedure, involving isotopic mapping and MBD (subareolar intraparenchymal injections of 2 mL, 10 mg/mL), was performed on 100 patients with early breast cancer. RESULTS: The procedure was safe with a success rate of 99%; SLNs were, respectively, found in 65% by MBD, in 73% by lymphoscintigraphy and in 94% by gamma-probe. Out of 40 metastatic SLNs, 37 were "hot" and 32 stained. Digital examination allowed the detection of 2 additional metastatic LNs. CONCLUSION: MBD is safe and combination mapping associated with digital examination is the superior method. Modification of the procedure, favouring injections of dilute MBD (4 mL, 1.25 mg/mL) increases MBD efficiency (90%) and maintains low rates of complications.

RESUMO

UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of a prototype intraoperative mini gamma-camera, the CarolIReS, with a 50 x 50 mm field of view, to precisely localize sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) and to determine their depth in a series of patients with infiltrative breast cancer requiring SLN excision. METHODS: With the use of phantoms, the broadness of the signal of an acquired projection was shown to linearly depend on its distance from the collimator. A preclinical ex vivo study of 25 excised SLNs demonstrated that SLN size did not influence depth estimation. The minimum activity threshold for successful use of the proposed method was determined. After a preoperative radioisotope injection and lymphoscintigraphy, the SLN was localized in a series of 11 patients using both the mini gamma-camera and a gamma-probe. During surgery, a ruler was used to measure the depth of all SLNs before their excision. RESULTS: Using the measured linear dependence of image broadness, we found that the expected SLN anatomic depth was compatible with its measured depth during surgery. CONCLUSION: This study showed that the mini gamma-camera efficiently estimated the location of SLNs in 3 dimensions.
