Abstract

To determine the effectiveness of intraoperative lymphatic with blue dye alone as a means of localizing sentinel nodes in patients with vulvar cancer. All patients undergoing primary surgical treatment for vulvar cancer were eligible for this prospective study. Isosulfan blue dye was injected intradermally at the edge of the primary tumor closest to the adjacent groin. Bilateral dye injections and groin dissections were performed if the tumor was within 2 cm of the midline. Fifty-two patients were enrolled in the study between 1993 and 1999. The median age was 58 years. Eighty-seven percent of the patients had T1 or T2 lesions, and 92% had nonsuspicious lymph nodes on palpation. Sixty-seven percent of the patients had squamous cell carcinoma; the remaining patients had melanoma or adenocarcinoma. The sentinel node was identified in 46 of the 52 patients (88%), comprising 22 of the 25 patients with lateral tumors and 24 of the 27 patients with midline lesions. The sentinel node was successfully identified in 57 of the 76 (75%) dissected groins. Sentinel node identification in the groin was hampered by the effects of prior excisional biopsy vs punch biopsy (11 of 25 vs 8 of 51, P = 0.007) and by the lateral vs midline location of...Continue Reading
