Lymphoscintigraphy discussion

By Scott Williams

The presence of regional lymph node metastases is a very important predictor of patient 5-year survival. Prophylactic elective lymph node dissection can result in a 50% 5-year survival rate when micrometastases are found (as compared to a 25% survival rate when patients subsequently present with enlarged lymph nodes). Unfortunately, morbidity from lymph node dissection is high. Lymphoscintigraphy with lymph node mapping can be used to better delineate the lymphatic drainage from the primary lesion.
