Sentinel Lymph Node technique : sampling method • Lymph node Mapping • Lymphoscintigraphy • Lymph node Biopsy • Lymph node Analysis • Serial sections + Immunohistochemistry
Goals of SLN technique • staging improvement: • Full histopathological analysis 2. select the right treatment for the right patient • to limit neck dissections to pN+ cases only : ≈ 30% patients
Limitation • The lack of accuracy of the Intraoperative diagnosis • “the Missing Link” • Sensitivity of routine Frozen section • 20 % sensitivity * • In best hands with serial sections : 90 %** • but • loss of materials • Not applicable in routine second surgery *Burcia et al. Otolaryngol Head and Neck Surgery 2010 **Tschopp et al. Otolaryngol Head and Neck Surgery 2005
The Role of molecular diagnosis ? • Advantages of molecular diagnosis for SLN staging Q-PCR • Not operator dependent • Automated → quicken → intraoperative use Questions are : #1 “Is the molecular staging as accurate as the gold standard ? ”. #2 “Which is the best Q-PCR marker ?”

Matched analysis Snap frozen section Cyto imprint IHC • 3 cytokeratins : CK 5, 14 et 17 Q-PCR SN sections: 5µm/250µm
Q-PCR values / Size of SLN metastasis Garrel et al. Clinical Cancer Research 2006
Patient Staging (18 patients -71 SLN) = cutoff SN- SN+ Garrel et al. Clinical Cancer Research 2006
Key points • Results: • Q-PCR staging was as accurate as IHC: • positive neck vs negative neck: 100% se / sp • Background noise • No detection of minute micromestasis < 450 µm • in two patients but this inaccuracy was negated by the presence of larger metastases in another SLN being Q-PCR positive in the same two patients • Discriminatory power of Q-PCR is depending on the marker
Literature: Q-PCR markers • Screening of 40 potential markers using primary tumor and gross metastatic deposits compared with benign nodes • Ferris Cancer Res et al. 2005.
Second run of Q-PCR (23 patients-85 SLN) • Comparison of the three markers • Pemphigus Vulgaris Ag / SCCAg / CK 17 • Q-PCR with absolute quantification (plasmide)

Conclusion: PVA as the best Q-PCR marker • Larger cohorts to validate PVA for Q-PCR diagnosis • Evaluate the inter-laboratory variations of accuracy Micrometastasis Macrometastasis • “path the way toward the intraoperative molecular staging of sentinel lymph nodes in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas”
Future study assessment of automated technique • Q-PCR • one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) OSNA CK19 → PVA SN in Head and Neck as the gold standard ?
