Abstract
We herein present our first experience obtained by 3D freehand single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (F-SPECT) guidance for sentinel lymph node detection (SLND) in two patients with early stage breast cancer. F-SPECT guidance was carried out using one-day protocol in one case and by the two-day protocol in the other one. SLND was performed successfully in both patients. Histopathologic evaluation showed that the excised nodes were tumor negative. Thus, patients underwent breast-conserving surgery alone.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy in oral–oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: standards, new technical procedures, and clinical advances

TL;DR: To provide substantial coverage and critical appraisal of standards as well as new technical procedures and clinical advances concerning sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the MEDLINE database was searched via the PubMed interface up to January 2019.

Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy in early-stage breast carcinoma: a metaanalysis.

TL;DR: Lymphatic mapping with sentinel lymph node biopsy has the potential for reducing the morbidity associated with breast carcinoma staging and has become a widely used technology despite limited data from controlled clinical trials.

First demonstration of 3-D lymphatic mapping in breast cancer using freehand SPECT

TL;DR: 3-D localization of SLNs is feasible using freehand SPECT technology and has high potential to allow image-guided biopsy and further standardization of SLN dissection, thus bringing 3-D nuclear imaging into the operating room.

Subareolar and peritumoral injection identify similar sentinel nodes for breast cancer.

TL;DR: Data suggest that delivery of mapping reagents in the subareolar (SA) location identifies similar lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer, and because of simplicity and the similarity in node identification between SA and PT injection, further investigation of the SA site for delivery of SLN mapping re agents for breast cancer is warranted.

Added Value of Intraoperative Real-Time Imaging in Searches for Difficult-to-Locate Sentinel Nodes

TL;DR: The combination of a standard hand-held γ-probe and real-time imaging provided by a portable γ -camera offers a high intraoperative detection rate in patients with difficult sentinel node localization as assessed by presurgical lymphoscintigraphy.

Freehand SPECT for image-guided sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer

TL;DR: FhSPECT is a highly sensitive modality for intraoperative detection of SLN detection, resulting in the identification of a higher number of SLNs than conventional gamma probe detection.
