摘要
本文报告了一项初步研究的结果，其中放射性同位素技术被用于检测宫颈转移的患者组织学证实的口腔鳞状细胞癌。16名患者在诊断后进行了评估，然后在间隔不少于6个月后检查可触及的颈部淋巴结的证据。其中8例患者随后接受了根治性颈淋巴结清扫术。比较放射性同位素技术的临床表现和手术发现假阳性的发生率很高。然而，由于其中11名患者接受了化疗，假阳性结果可能反映了化疗引起的疾病消退。11例患者颈部未显示任何其他病理学证据。这项技术，进一步完善，可能是一个有用的诊断工具，以筛选颈部转移，低于阈值的手动触诊，因为颈部淋巴结的早期识别是至关重要的治疗计划和管理。
Abstract
This paper reports the findings of a pilot study in which a radioisotope technique was used in the detection of cervical metastases in patients with histologically proven oral squamous cell carcinomata. Sixteen patients were assessed with the technique after diagnosis and then examined after an interval of not less than 6 months for evidence of palpable cervical-lymph nodes. Eight of the patients subsequently underwent radical neck dissection. Comparing the radioisotope technique to the clinical findings and surgery revealed a high incidence of false-positives. However, since 11 of the patients received chemotherapy, it may be that the false-positive results reflect regression of disease caused by chemotherapy. The 11 patients did not show evidence of any other pathology in the neck. This technique, with further refinement, could be a useful diagnostic tool to screen cervical metastases that are below the threshold of manual palpation, since early identification of neck cervical nodes is crucial to the treatment plan and management.
