[Application of carbon nanoparticles labeled node staining in D2 radical resection of gastric cancer with neoadjuvant chemotherapy].

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the application value of carbon nanoparticles labeled node staining in D2 radical resection of gastric cancer with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 82 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to Henan Tumor Hospital from April 2016 to April 2019 were collected. 38 patients who used carbon nanoparticles labeled node staining were in the observation group, while other 44 patients were in the control group. Data analysis including the operation and results of harvested of lymph nodes. Results: All patients successfully completed the operation.Thirty-eight patients successfully completed the injection of carbon nanoparticles. Surgery observation group operating time was (150±28) min, intraoperative blood loss was (207±121) ml, group operating time was (140±23) min, intraoperative blood loss was (256±182) ml. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Detection of Lymph node A total of 1 260 lymph nodes were detected in the observation group and 981 in the control group. In the observation group, the mean lymph node sorting time was (17.2±3.3) min, the average number of harvested lymph node was 33.2±10.4, the number of the first station of lymph node was 19.8±5.3, the second station of lymph node was 13.4±6.4, the number of harvested small node(<5 mm) was 673, the positive lymph nodes was 13(range,1-31). They were all higher than those in the control group, which were (20.6±4.4)min,22.3±6.6, 12.6±4.1, 9.7±3.2,432,6 (range,1-13) , respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The metastasis rate was 19.1% (241/1 260) in observation group and 16.5%(162/981) in the control group. The difference was no statistical(P>0.05). The rate of black -dyed harvested lymph node was 54.4%(686/1 260) in carbon nanoparticles group. Conclusions: The application of carbon nanoparticles labeled node staining in D2 radical resection of gastric cancer with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is feasible and safe. It can increase the number of lymph nodes detected, which is beneficial to the evaluation of chemotherapy effect and prognosis of patients.
