The Detection of Sentinel Nodes in Ovarian Cancer: A Feasibility Study

Abstract: Few sentinel node (SN) studies in ovarian cancer have been reported, mainly because of the risk of tumor dissemination associated with the injection of tracers into the ovarian cortex. To our knowledge, the injection of tracers into the ovarian ligaments has not been explored. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of the SN procedure in ovarian cancer with tracer injection into the ovarian ligaments and to establish whether the procedure is safe for the healthcare workers. Methods: The study i… Show more

“…As previously reported, retroperitoneal exploration was more successful than transperitoneal examination in detecting SNs (11). This finding could be explained by better, more precise accessibility of the lymph node locations but possibly also by a longer interval after injection of the tracer.…”

“…The 5 patients with ovarian cancer were incorporated in a previous report describing the feasibility of the intraoperative SN detection (11). In none of the patients did a preoperative CT scan, acquired as part of the diagnostic work-up, show signs of tumor spread (either intraabdominal or pathologic lymph nodes).…”
