Encuesta del Grupo de Trabajo de Cirugía Radioguiada (GTCRG) de la Sociedad Española de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular (SEMNIM): localización radioguiada de lesiones no palpables de mama con o sin indicación de biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela: ROLL, SNOLL y semillas de 125I / Survey of the Radioguided Surgery Working Group (GTCRG-RGSWG) of the Spanish Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SEMNIM): Radioguided localization of non-palpable breast lesions with or without indication for selective sentinel node biopsy: ROLL, SNOLL and 125I seeds

Objetivo: Conocer el estado actual de la técnica de localización radioguiada de lesiones no palpables de mama con o sin indicación de biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela —ROLL, SNOLL y semillas de 125I— mediante la realización de una encuesta nacional elaborada por el Grupo de Trabajo de Cirugía Radioguiada (GTCRG) de la Sociedad Española de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular (SEMNIM). Material y métodos: En octubre del 2020 se envió la encuesta, en formato digital, a los distintos servicios de Medicina Nuclear de nuestra geografía. Se dio un tiempo de respuesta de 2meses con prórroga de 15 días. Se ha obtenido el número de procedimientos ROLL/SNOLL de cada centro y la metodología utilizada, recogiendo importantes detalles técnicos. Además, se ha incluido un apartado específico sobre las semillas de 125I. Los resultados se volcaron de forma automática en una hoja de cálculo Excel 2007 para su posterior análisis con el mismo programa. Resultados: La encuesta fue contestada por 55 centros; 21 utilizan arpón mientras que los 34 restantes emplean distintas técnicas de cirugía radioguiada (CRG) para la localización de lesiones no palpables de mama, desglosando los resultados en 13apartados. La dosis de trazador habitualmente utilizada es de 111 MBq para la técnica ROLL y de 222 MBq para la técnica SNOLL, con un volumen de 0,2ml. El protocolo más habitual es el de 2días. El 26% de los centros que realiza CRG utiliza semillas de 125I tanto para la detección de lesiones mamarias como de ganglios sospechosos/patológicos, siendo el tiempo entre la implantación y la extirpación es de unos 3 días, con posterior control radiológico en la mayoría de los casos. Conclusión: La encuesta pone de manifiesto la relevancia de la cirugía radioguiada en el manejo de los pacientes con cáncer de mama en las diferentes etapas de la enfermedad, con disparidad en la implementación de las nuevas técnicas y herramientas (AU)

Objective: To know the current status of the technique of radioguided localisation of non-palpable breast lesions with or without indication for selective sentinel node biopsy -ROLL, SNOLL and 125I seeds- by conducting a national survey developed by the Working Group on Radioguided Surgery (GTCRG) of the Spanish Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SEMNIM). Material and methods: In October 2020, the form was sent in digital format to the different nuclear medicine services in Spain. A response time of 2months with an overtime of 15 days was given. The number of ROLL/SNOLL procedures in each centre and the methodology used were obtained, including important technical details. In addition, a specific section on 125I seeds was included. The results were automatically downloaded into an Excel 2007 spreadsheet for subsequent analysis with the same program. Results: The survey was answered by 55 centres; 21 use wire-guided localisation while the remaining 34 use different radioguided surgery techniques (RGS) for the localisation of non-palpable breast lesions, with the results itemized into thirteen sections. The commonly used tracer dose is 111 MBq for the ROLL technique and 222 MBq for the SNOLL technique, with a volume of 0.2ml. The most common protocol is the two-day protocol. 26% of centres performing CRG use 125I seeds for both breast lesion and suspicious/pathological node detection, with the time between implantation and removal being about 3 days, with subsequent radiological control in most cases. Conclusion: The survey shows the relevance of radioguided surgery in the management of breast cancer patients at different stages of the disease, with disparity in the implementation of new techniques and tools, which responds to the multiple healthcare realities of Nuclear Medicine services (AU)

Actualización de la biopsia del ganglio centinela tras quimioterapia neoadyuvante en el cáncer de mama sin y con afectación ganglionar al diagnóstico / Review of the role of the sentinel node biopsy in neoadjuvant chemotherapy in women with breast cancer and negative or positive axillary node at diagnosis

Esta actualización pretende contextualizar la relevancia de la biopsia selectiva del ganglio centinela (BSGC) en mujeres con cáncer de mama e indicación de quimioterapia neoadyuvante (QTN). El Grupo de Trabajo de Cirugía Radioguiada de la SEMNIM es consciente de la variabilidad existente en nuestro país sobre todo en cuanto al momento de realizar la técnica (previa o tras la QTN) y en cuanto al manejo de pacientes con axila negativa o positiva al diagnóstico. Existe suficiente experiencia contrastada para aseverar que mediante técnicas radioisotópicas la BSGC es factible, eficaz y segura en estos escenarios. Una adecuada valoración mediante técnicas de imagen de la situación tumoral a nivel de la axila previa a la cirugía y la posibilidad del marcaje previo a la QTN de cualquier ganglio infiltrado deben ser los pilares fundamentales para garantizar el éxito de la BSGC. Es un hecho que incorporar la BSGC en el cáncer de mama con indicación de QTN favorece un tratamiento conservador de la axila, lo cual redunda en claro beneficio de las pacientes (AU)

The role of the selective sentinel node biopsy (SNB) is increasing in relevance in breast cancer women with indication of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The Radiosurgery Working Group of the SEMNIM is aware of the necessity of establishing the need for SNB before or after NAC, and also how to manage patients with axillary node-negative or node-positive. There is sufficient data to assess that the SNB with radioisotope techniques are feasible and safe in all these scenarios. An adequate axilla evaluation prior to surgery and the possibility of marking prior to NAC the nodes infiltrated must be the two main pillars to guarantee the success of the SNB. It has been shown that to incorporate the SNB in breast cancer women with indication of NAC increases the rate of a conservative treatment of the axilla that will be a clear benefit for these patients (AU)
