Background: Sentinel node (SN) biopsy can be used to select patients with primary melanoma for therapeutic lymphadenectomy. The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of 3 methods to locate the SN: preoperative dynamic lymphoscintigraphy, intraoperative patent blue dye (PBD), and gamma-detecting probe (GDP). Methods: We studied 133 patients with cutaneous melanoma and clinically negative lymph...
The selective recognition of tumour cells by monoclonal antibodies, labelled with radioactive isotopes, for use in diagnosis and treatment, forms the basis of immunoscintigraphy, radio-immunoguided surgery and radio-immunotherapy. Research into the application of these systems has encountered multiple difficulties, most notably a low tumour to non-tumour ratio of radioactivity. The development of...
