Groin Recurrences in Node Negative Vulvar Cancer Patients After Sole Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection

Abstract: Sentinel lymph node dissection is a safe and feasible alternative in early vulvar cancer. But false-negative sentinel carry a high risk of mostly fatal groin recurrences. Especially, midline tumors larger than 2 cm have to be treated with caution, because they are mostly found in cases with groin recurrences after sole SLND.

“…19 An inguinofemoral recurrence of vulvar cancer is associated with very poor outcome. 10,11 Therefore, a deeper analysis of every case with a false-negative sentinel is necessary. In this study, we had 1 patient with an intraoperatively suspicious, palpable, nonsentinel lymph node that was negative for 99m Tc-nanocolloid and ICG and finally showed a tumor infiltration of 6 mm.…”

“…7Y10 The prognosis of an inguinal recurrence is poor and associated with a high mortality. 10,11 Therefore, high attention has to be directed to a correct application of both sentinel diagnostic and extirpation. The criterion standard of sentinel mapping in vulvar cancer is the use of radioactive technetium 99m ( 99m Tc)Ylabeled nanocolloid.…”

“…After a complete inguinofemoral or pelvic lymph node dissection, the same morbidity as in vulvar or cervical cancer patients is to expect. However, the prognosis of a nodal recurrence is poor and associated with a high mortality in vulvar and cervical cancer [11,16]. The gold standard of sentinel mapping in vulvar or cervical cancer is the use of radioactive technetium-99m-nanocolloide (Tc-99m).…”
