Abstract
Surgical resection and lymphadenectomy are the central mainstay of curative treatment of esophagogastric cancer. In this study we evaluate the results of intravascular methylene blue injection into esophagectomy and gastrectomy specimens as a tool to increase lymph node detection.
A prospective and descriptive study was performed in 24 patients (11 esophagus, 13 stomachs). The most frequent histological type was adenocarcinoma (esophagus 29.2%, stomach 90.9%). All patients with esophageal cancer received neoadjuvant treatment, compared to 8 with gastric cancer. The anatomopathological analysis of esophagectomies showed a median of 42 isolated nodes, compared to 46 in gastrectomies. In esophageal cancer, a total of 8 (72.7%) patients did not show lymphatic involvement, whereas, in gastric cancer patients, 76.9% of patients had lymph nodes, with a median number of positive nodes of 3 (RIC: 0.5-7).
The instillation of methylene blue allows a large number of nodes to be analysed and could atherefore improve staging, treatment and prognosis of patients with esophagogastric cancer.
期刊介绍:
Cirugía Española, an official body of the Asociación Española de Cirujanos (Spanish Association of Surgeons), will consider original articles, reviews, editorials, special articles, scientific letters, letters to the editor, and medical images for publication; all of these will be submitted to an anonymous external peer review process. There is also the possibility of accepting book reviews of recent publications related to General and Digestive Surgery.
