Prospective clinical study of sentinel node detection in bladder cancer using a hybrid tracer – Towards replacement of pelvic lymph node dissection in cases with sentinel node visualization on SPECT/CT?
Preoperative SN-visualization on SPECT/CT was achieved in the majority of patients. Patients with SN non-visualization had an increased risk of nodal metastases and poorer outcome. In patients with metastases in the SN no additional nodal metastases were found in the complementary PLND.
