British Journal of Surgery, 04/17/09
Takeyama H et al. – Study shows that detection of sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis was helpful in diagnosing follicular thyroid cancer and thus enabling one-stage surgery.
Methods- Aim was to evaluate whether SLN biopsy is helpful in obtaining the correct diagnosis of malignant follicular-type tumours
- SLN biopsy performed for 37 follicular-type tumours suspected to be malignant
- It was based on preoperative examinations, but for which the diagnosis had not been confirmed
- SNs were identified in 32/37 procedures
- SLN metastases were found in 4/12 pts with a malignant tumour identified by intraoperative frozen-section analysis
- There was 1 false-negative but no false-positive diagnoses
- Frozen-section analysis of the tumour itself identified only 1 follicular cancer
- Accuracies of preoperative imaging methods were lower than that of SLN detection
