Laparoscopic evaluation of sentinel nodes is useful for staging prostate cancer, but preoperative localization of deep abdominal sentinel nodes with planar lymphoscintigraphy is difficult. We evaluated the value of SPECT/CT for detecting and localizing sentinel nodes in prostate cancer. Methods: 99mTc-nanocolloid was injected peri- and intratumorally, guided by transrectal ultra-sonography, in 46 patients with prostate cancer of intermediate prognosis. Patients underwent planar imaging after 15 min and 2 h, SPECT/CT after 2 h, and laparoscopic sentinel node lym-phadenectomy on the same day. SPECT was fused with CT and analyzed using 2-dimensional orthogonal slicing and 3-dimensional volume rendering. We evaluated the number of extra sentine...
