Abstract

The contribution of nuclear medicine to management of melanoma patients is increasing. In intermediate-thickness N0 melanomas, lymphoscintigraphy provides a roadmap for sentinel node biopsy. With the introduction of single-photon emission computed tomography images with integrated computed tomography (SPECT/CT), 3D anatomic environments for accurate surgical planning are now possible. Sentinel node identification in intricate anatomical areas (pelvic cavity, head/neck) has been improved using hybrid radioactive/fluorescent tracers, preoperative lymphoscintigraphy and SPECT/CT together with modern intraoperative portable imaging technologies for surgical navigation (free-hand SPECT, portable gamma cameras). Furthermore, PET/CT today provides 3D roadmaps to resect ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose-avid melanoma lesions. Simultaneously, in advanced-stage melanoma and recurrences, ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/CT is useful in clinical staging and treatment decision as well as in the evaluation of therapy response. In this article, we review new insights and recent nuclear medicine advances in the management of melanoma patients.

黑色素瘤与核医学：新的见解和进展。

核医学对黑色素瘤患者管理的贡献正在增加。在中厚N0黑色素瘤中，淋巴闪烁扫描为前哨淋巴结活检提供了路线图。随着单光子发射计算机断层扫描图像与集成计算机断层扫描（SPECT/CT）的引入，用于精确手术计划的3D解剖环境现在成为可能。使用混合放射性/荧光示踪剂、术前淋巴闪烁扫描和SPECT/CT以及用于手术导航的现代术中便携式成像技术（徒手SPECT、便携式伽马相机），已经改进了复杂解剖区域（盆腔、头部/颈部）的前哨结识别。此外，PET/CT今天提供了切除18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖狂热的黑色素瘤病变的3D路线图。同时，在晚期黑色素瘤和复发中，18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖PET/CT可用于临床分期和治疗决策以及评估治疗反应。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了在黑色素瘤患者管理方面的新见解和最新的核医学进展。

期刊介绍： Skin cancer is on the rise. According to the World Health Organization, 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year. While early-stage melanoma is usually relatively easy to treat, once disease spreads prognosis worsens considerably. Therefore, research into combating advanced-stage melanoma is a high priority. New and emerging therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, B-RAF and KIT inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents and novel chemotherapy approaches hold promise for prolonging survival, but the search for a cure is ongoing. Melanoma Management publishes high-quality peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of melanoma, from prevention to diagnosis and from treatment of early-stage disease to late-stage melanoma and metastasis. The journal presents the latest research findings in melanoma research and treatment, together with authoritative reviews, cutting-edge editorials and perspectives that highlight hot topics and controversy in the field. Independent drug evaluations assess newly approved medications and their role in clinical practice. Key topics covered include: Risk factors, prevention and sun safety education Diagnosis, staging and grading Surgical excision of melanoma lesions Sentinel lymph node biopsy Biological therapies, including immunotherapy and vaccination Novel chemotherapy options Treatment of metastasis Prevention of recurrence Patient care and quality of life.
