Hammarstedt‐Nordenvall L, Bark R, Elliot A, Von Beckerath M, Gahm C. Distribution of sentinel nodes from parotid tumors-A feasibility study. Cancer Med 2023; 12:19667-19672. [PMID: 37776164 PMCID: PMC10587971 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.6612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimum management of the N0 neck is unresolved in parotid salivary gland cancer. Sentinel node biopsy (SNB) can reliably detect microscopic lymph node metastasis and its´ clinical use is increasing for head and neck tumors. The object of this study was to establish whether the technique is applicable to detect distribution of sentinel nodes for parotid tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prosepective observational study in 30 patients with benign or low-grade T1-T2N0 malignant tumors in the parotid gland planned for surgical treatment. Distribution of SN was detected with a preoperative ultrasound-guided peritumoral injection with a technetium-99 (Tc-99 m) laballed tracer followed by a SPECT-CT and intraoperative measurement in the neck and parotidal tissue. In patients with cytologically suspected malignant tumor or highly unclerar cytology, SNB was also performed. RESULTS Sentinel nodes (SNs) were detected in 26/30 cases. Out of these, 7 presented with only one SN, whereas multiple sentinel nodes where detected in 19 cases. No SNs were found in neck level 1. SN was detected in level 5 independent of tumor location within the parotid gland. An intraparotidal distribution of SNs was more frequent in larger tumors. CONCLUSIONS The use of SN-technique in the planning of surgical treatment of parotid tumors seems feasible. It may be of clinical value for patients with parotid cancer to enable a more accurate staging and to detect occult metastasis in the SNs within the parotid as well as in the neck, enabaling the possibility to surgically remove all positive SNs at primary surgery and with reduced surgical morbidity.

Development of sentinel lymph node biopsy technique in patients with salivary gland cancer using the IDEAL framework. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 46:2029-2034. [PMID: 32576478 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2020.05.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Revised: 04/26/2020] [Accepted: 05/14/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Salivary cancer is rare and comprises a variety of histological subtypes and clinical behaviors. There is no agreed method of estimating the risk of occult metastasis or managing the clinically N0 neck.Sentinel node biopsy (SNB) may offer a solution but previous studies have not produced a reliable imaging protocol. This study uses novel technology and trial methodology to develop a reliable SNB technique, with primary aim to identify peri-and intraglandular sentinel nodes. METHODS IDEAL framework was used to undertake SNB in clinically node negative salivary gland cancer. Patients with cT1-2 N0 salivary cancer were eligible. Lymphoscintigraphy was undertaken using Tc-99 m labelled nanocoll. Injection technique as well as adjunctive use of freehand SPECT (fhSPECT), near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, and navigation-guided surgery were used and optimisied during the study protocol. RESULTS 10 patients were recruited. Initial protocol of peritumoural injection of Tc99 m nanocoll showed poor image resolution. Subsequent adjustment to single intratumoural injection allowed identification of intraglandular sentinel nodes. Fh/SPECT and NIR fluorescence imaging found intraglandular lymph nodes otherwise not recognizable to the naked eye. In two cases occult lymph node metastasis were identified. CONCLUSION This study has shown the IDEAL framework is vital in allowing iterative changes in surgical protocol in the light of experience. This study has produced a reliable method for detection of sentinel nodes, in particular the ability to identify intra- and periglandular nodes with diagnosis of occult metastatic deposits and no false negative results. Our protocol can be readily transferred in to larger scale studies.

Abstract
Introduction: Management of clinically negative neck (cN0) in patients with parotid gland cancer is controversial. Treatment options can include observation, elective neck dissection or elective radiotherapy. Areas covered: We addressed the treatment options for cN0 patients with parotid gland cancer. A literature review was undertaken to determine the optimal management of this group of patients. Expert opinion: Patients with parotid carcinoma and clinically negative neck have various options for their management. The analysis of tumor stage, histology and grade is essential to better define patients at risk for occult lymph node metastasis. These patients can be managed by surgery, radiotherapy or their combination, depending on the presence of risk factors, the moment at which such risk factors are detected, patient-related clinical conditions, medical provider expertise and institutional facilities.

Abstract
Our goals was to evaluate how sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) benefit neck management in patients with parotid cancer. Patients diagnosed with cN0 parotid cancer by preoperative fine needle puncture were prospectively enrolled. The neck status was evaluated by SLNB. If node metastasis was proved by SLNB, a neck dissection of level I-V a was performed, or a wait-and-see policy was conducted for the patient. All related information was extracted and analyzed. Positive SLNB result occurred in 33 (16.7%) patients, and level II metastasis was noted in 100% of the patients. Isolated level III metastasis was noted in 3 (9.1%) patients. During our follow-up with mean time of 49.5 months, 20 patients developed regional recurrence, in which 6 patients had neck dissection as part of their initial management. All the recurrent neck disease was successfully salvaged. Therefore, SLNB was a reliable procedure for neck management in parotid cancer.

Abstract
The management of the clinically N0 neck in patients with head and neck cancers still remains controversial. Elective neck dissection is traditionally recommended when the subside of the head and neck, such as the oral cavity and supraglottic area, confers at least a 15-20% risk of lymphatic spread. However, elective neck dissection may cause an increase in patient morbidity and mortality rates. The emergence of sentinel lymph biopsy provides the possibility of accurate pathological staging of the cervical node with a less invasive procedure. The present review will summarize the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy and its application areas when evaluating occult metastases in patients with head and neck cancers.

Abstract
The concept of radioguided surgery, which was first developed some 60 years ago, involves the use of a radiation detection probe system for the intraoperative detection of radionuclides. The use of gamma detection probe technology in radioguided surgery has tremendously expanded and has evolved into what is now considered an established discipline within the practice of surgery, revolutionizing the surgical management of many malignancies, including breast cancer, melanoma, and colorectal cancer, as well as the surgical management of parathyroid disease. The impact of radioguided surgery on the surgical management of cancer patients includes providing vital and real-time information to the surgeon regarding the location and extent of disease, as well as regarding the assessment of surgical resection margins. Additionally, it has allowed the surgeon to minimize the surgical invasiveness of many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, while still maintaining maximum benefit to the cancer patient. In the current review, we have attempted to comprehensively evaluate the history, technical aspects, and clinical applications of radioguided surgery using gamma detection probe technology.

Abstract
The low incidence, the wide histological spectrum and the natural, sometimes slow, evolution of malignant parotid gland tumours do not allow to easily establish the impact of their treatments. At present, clinical data come from retrospective cohort analysis, whereas randomized phase II-III trials are confidential. Moreover conclusions from these studies are controversial. We present here the therapeutic highlights of parotid cancers: surgery, with the particular concern of facial nerve preservation; and adjuvant treatment essentially based on radiotherapy. This review focused on adjuvant care explores the indications and the technical aspects of radiation, as well as the role of concurrent chemotherapy.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy in adenocarcinoma of minor salivary gland. Oral Oncol 2007; 44:305-8.

Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary gland (MSG) is a rare neoplasm. It represents about 2% of all MSG malignant tumours. It is more common in the palate and in females. This tumour occurs in a mean age of sixty and its mean size at presentation is 1.5cm. Microscopically, the neoplasms classified as adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (NOS) are a histologically heterogeneous group: they vary from highly anaplastic adenocarcinoma to moderate and well-differentiated lesions. This report describes a case of adenocarcinoma of MSG occurring in the buccal mucosa of a 24-year-old male. The patient underwent a sentinel node biopsy as a staging tool in association with the primary surgical treatment. In the histological examination of sentinel lymph node (SLN) there was no evidence of metastatic disease. The patient presents no evidence of recurrent disease after 4years of follow-up. We believe that the use of SLN biopsy can be indicated in similar cases considering the tumoural biology (well-differentiated) because prospective randomized studies would be very difficult to be performed due to the rarity of this neoplasm.
