Abstract

The aim of this study was to update clinical practice applications and technical procedures regarding sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in vulvar cancer considering European experts' opinions from this field. Systematic data search performed using PubMed/medline database up to May 20, 2020. Focus was only for English language publications of original studies on SLN biopsy in vulvar cancer. Given the basis of published evidence and the consensus of European experts, this study provides an updated overview on clinical applications and technical procedures of SLN biopsy in vulvar cancer. In early-stage vulvar cancer patients with a negative sentinel node the groin recurrence rate is low, survival is excellent, and treatment-related morbidity is minimal. We advise that sentinel node dissection, performed by a quality-controlled multidisciplinary team, should be part of the standard treatment in selected patients with early-stage vulvar cancer.

前哨淋巴结在外阴癌中的作用。

本研究的目的是考虑到欧洲专家在该领域的意见，更新外阴癌前哨淋巴结(SLN)活检的临床应用和技术程序。使用PubMed/medline数据库进行系统数据检索，截止到2020年5月20日。重点仅针对外阴癌SLN活检原始研究的英文出版物。基于已发表的证据和欧洲专家的共识，本研究提供了外阴癌SLN活检的临床应用和技术程序的最新概述。在前哨淋巴结阴性的早期外阴癌患者中，腹股沟复发率低，生存率高，治疗相关的发病率极低。我们建议前哨淋巴结清扫，由一个质量控制的多学科团队进行，应该是早期外阴癌患者标准治疗的一部分。
