Excerpt

Recently, Novikov et al. [1] has published an interesting article on sentinel node mapping of uterine cervix cancer in the “Annals of Nuclear Medicine”. They reported the results of sentinel node biopsy in IAB and IIA uterine cervix cancer patients. The main focus of their study was the importance of laterality of sentinel node detection on pre-operative SPECT/CT. Patients with bilateral sentinel node detection had 0% false-negative rate despite 100% false-negative rate in patients with unilateral detection. The final conclusion of the study was: “In patients with unilateral SLN localization, SLN biopsy cannot be used for the prediction of regional LN status”. …
