18Fluoro2deoxy-Dglucose-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) Imaging versus sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in the staging of cutaneous melanoma …

2006

Aim. In the present study, 18Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-Glucose-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) findings were compared with histopathological results of sentinel lymph-node biopsy (SNLB). The purpose was to determine the value of FDG-PET in predicting regional lymph-node involvement in patients with primary melanoma stage I and II. Methods. Twenty five consecutive patients with primary cutaneous melanoma, stage I and II, underwent FDG-PET scans, preoperative lymphoscintigraphy, and SNLB. The sentinel node detection was sistematically performed within the week following the PET scanning. Results. The FDG-PET and SNLB results were interpreted independently of each other and then compared. Conclu…
