头颈部肿瘤前哨淋巴结放射性核素探测研究进展

Detection of sentinel lymph nodes in head and neck carcinoma by lymphoscintigraphy and gamma probe

摘要: 头颈部肿瘤前峭淋巴结是指肿瘤淋巴引流区域中的第一级淋巴结。探测头颈部肿瘤前哨淋巴结转移状况为肿瘤的准确分期和手术方案的制定提供了重要依据。放射性核素探讨可对前哨淋巴结进行显示和准确定位,检出率达90%以上,有着良好的应用前景。

Abstract: The sentinel lymph node is the initial recipient of possible metastasis. Lymphoscintigraphy and gamma probe seems to be reliable in identifying the sentinel lymph nodes, And it is feasible to predict regional nodal metastases by sentinel lymph node detection in head and neck carcinoma. The sentinel lymph node technique is a valuable tool in the staging of head and neck carcinoma.
