The main goal of the second edition of this book is to update the
content on the rapidly growing field of lymphoscintigraphy, a
radionuclide-based imaging procedure that provides information on
the functional status of the lymphatic system. Although the
technique was originally introduced to identify the cause of
peripheral edema (i.e., blockage of the venous or lymphatic
circulation), more recent and widespread applications include
radioguided biopsy of the sentinel lymph node in patients with
solid cancers. This procedure is crucial for the adequate planning
of oncologic surgery in a growing number of cancers, most notably
breast cancer, cutaneous melanoma, head and neck cancers, penile
cancer, and cervical cancer. The book focuses on the latest
advances in lymphoscintigraphy techniques, including both novel
tracers recently approved for clinical use (especially in the field
of sentinel lymph node mapping) and the expanding role of hybrid
imaging with SPECT/CT - and in sentinel node detection using hybrid
tracers (radiolabeled and fluorescent) for dual-signature guidance.
Each chapter addresses the clinical application of
lymphoscintigraphy in different anatomic areas or disease
conditions. After an introductory section concerning the
pathophysiology of the specific site/disease, the clinical
relevance and impact of lymphoscintigraphy is demonstrated by a
collection of richly illustrated teaching cases describing the
lymphoscintigraphic patterns most commonly observed, as well as
anatomic variants and technical pitfalls. Emphasis is placed on
tomographic multimodality imaging. The book gathers contributions
by experts in nuclear oncology, who have revised their chapters by
updating the didactic material and adding clinical cases. Regarding
sentinel lymph node biopsy in particular, a major distinction of
this text is the incorporation of the staging guidelines of the
American Joint Committee on Cancer (8th edition) into the didactic
material.
