OBJECTIVE: To analyze the value of intraoperative lymphatic mapping in cases of midline primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in clinically staged N0 necks.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eleven patients with HNSCC of the epiglottis (2 T1, 6 T2, 3 T3), all of whom were staged with a neck status of N0 using sonography and CT, underwent intraoperative peritumoral (99m)Tc-nanocoll injection (4 sites; 45 MBq), radiolabeled detection and analysis of up to 3 hot sentinel nodes (SNs) during elective neck dissection.
RESULTS: Gamma probe use revealed bi- and unilateral intranodal tracer uptake in 6/11 and 5/11 patients, respectively. In 2/6 patients with bilateral intranodal tracer uptake an SN with an isolated metastasis was found at one neck site while the other four patients were tumor-free in the SNs. Of the five patients with unilateral intranodal tracer uptake, three had radiolabeled SNs containing isolated metastases whereas two had no cancer detected, giving a total occult cancer rate of 45% (5/11). No cancer was found in non-labeled nodes.
CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative lymphatic mapping correctly identified the stage of metastatic disease. Unilateral tracer uptake represented the pathway of occult metastatic spread in 3/5 patients and the disease-free neck status of both neck sites in 2/5 patients. No patient had occult bilateral cancer. Future investigations should be done to determine whether intraoperative lymphoscintigraphy can guide the indication for unilateral only or bilateral neck dissection in these patients.
