Nano-tracers for sentinel lymph node detection : current trends in technique and application

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection and biopsy is a critical staging component for several cancers. Apart from established methods using dyes or radiolabeled colloids, newer techniques are emerging, like near-infrared fluorescent compounds, targeted molecular radiopharmaceuticals and magnetic nano-tracers. In the overview section of this review, we categorize SLN detection tracers based on their principle of use. We discuss the merits of existing tracers and provide a glimpse of in-development formulations. A subsequent clinical section explores the expanded role of SLN detection in management of various cancers, citing current medical guidelines and the leading conclusions of long-term clinical trials. The concluding section tries to provide a perspective of promising developments and the work required to bring them to clinical fruition.
