Использовали лимфотропный коллоидный РФП, меченный 99mTc. РФП активностью 150 МБк вводился за сутки до операции внутрикожно вокруг рубца резецированной меланомы или перитуморально в 4 точки в случае первичной опухоли. Лимфосцинтиграфия выполнялась спустя 1–3 ч после инъекции РФП на гамма-камере Symbia E или Symbia E (Siemens, Германия). Выполнялась статическая полипозиционная сцинтиграфия в передне-задней и боковых проекциях для определения топографии и разметки СЛУ. Выполнено 324 планарных исследования. В 259 случаях выполнено дополнительное исследование ОФЭКТ (в т.ч. ОФЭКТ/КТ) на аппарате Symbia T2 (Siemens, Германия). Хирургическое вмешательство выполнялось на следующий день с учетом данных интраоперационной радиометрии с помощью отечественного специализированного ручного гамма-детектора «Радикал», разработанного в НТЦ «Амплитуда».</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты: Средняя толщина первичной меланомы по Бреслоу составляла 2,8 ± 2,2 мм (диапазон 0,2–13,0 мм). Локализация СЛУ: аксиллярные (n = 161, 51 %), паховые (n = 100, 31 %), шейные (n = 16, 5 %), поднижнечелюстные (n = 9, 3 %), надключичные (n = 4, 1 %), более одного бассейна (n = 34, 9 %). В группе меланом толщиной менее 0,75 мм метастазы в СЛУ не обнаружены, среди меланом 0,75–1 мм — обнаружен один положительный лимфоузел с метастазом (СЛУ+), в самой многочисленной группе меланом средней толщины (1–3,5 мм) — 25 (17 %). Наибольший процент метастазов в СЛУ определяется при толстых меланомах (более 3,5 мм) — 17 (28 %), что согласуется с данными зарубежной литературы, при этом чаще всего поражены СЛУ при толщине опухоли по Бреслоу больше 7 мм.</p><p>В группе с отрицательными сторожевыми лимфоузлами (СЛУ–) средняя толщина опухоли по Бреслоу составила 2,6 ± 2,0 мм, в группе СЛУ+ — 4,0 ± 2,9 мм, различия между группами статистически достоверны, что подтверждается результатом однофакторного дисперсионного анализа.</p><p>Оптимальным пороговым значением толщины опухоли по Бреслоу для выделения больных с положительным прогнозом метастазирования в СЛУ является 2,0 мм.

Статистически значимые прогностические факторы метастазирования в СЛУ: локализация первичной опухоли в области спины (чаще у мужчин) и нижних конечностей (чаще у женщин); толщина по Бреслоу более 3,5 мм. 3. Отмечено отсутствие влияния пола и возраста при незначительном преобладании женщин в обеих группах. </p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Purpose</title><p>Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic factors in patients with Breslow skin melanoma of various thicknesses that affect the incidence of metastases in the signal lymph nodes (SLN).</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods: From November 2018 to November 2020, 324 patients with diagnosed melanoma of the skin of various localization and stages were examined and operated on. We used lymphotropic colloidal radiopharmaceutical (RPh) labeled with 99mTc. RPh with an activity of 150 MBq was administered one day before the operation intradermally around the scar of resected melanoma or peritumorally at 4 points in the case of a primary tumor. Lymphoscintigraphy was performed 1–3 hours after the RP injection on a Symbia E or Symbia E gamma camera (Siemens, Germany). Anteroposterior and lateral static polypositional scintigraphy was performed to determine the topography and mark the SLN. 324 planar studies were performed. In 259 cases, an additional study was performed SPECT (including SPECT / CT) on a Symbia T2 device (Siemens, Germany). Surgical intervention was performed the next day, taking into account the data of intraoperative radiometry using a domestic specialized hand-held gamma detector Radical (Amplituda, Russia).</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results: The mean primary melanoma Breslow thickness was 2.77 ± 2.2 mm (range 0.2–13.0 mm). Localization of SLN: axillary (n = 161. 51 %), inguinal (n = 100. 31 %), cervical (n = 16. 5 %), submandibular (n = 9. 3 %), supraclavicular (n = 4. 1 %), more than one basin (n = 34. 9 %). In the group of melanomas &lt;0.75 mm thick, no SLN metastases were found, among 0.75–1 mm melanomas, one positive lymph node with metastasis (SLN+) was found, in the largest group of melanomas of medium thickness (1–3.5 mm) — 25 (17 %). The largest percentage of metastases in SLN is determined in thick melanomas (&gt;3.5 mm) — 17 (28 %), which is consistent with the data of foreign literature, while SLN is most often affected with a Breslow tumor thickness of more than 7 mm.</p><p>In the group with negative sentinel lymph nodes (SLN–), the average tumor thickness according to Breslow was 2.6 ± 2.0 mm, in the SLN+ group — 4.0 ± 2.9 mm, the differences between the groups are statistically significant, which is confirmed by the result of one-way analysis of variance.</p><p>The optimal threshold value of tumor thickness according to Breslow for the isolation of patients with a positive prognosis of metastasis in the SLN is 2.0 mm. It is characterized by the maximum levels of sensitivity (79 %) and specificity (59.1 %). An older age of patients (over 35 years old) is also associated with an increased incidence of metastases in the SLN, but this indicator is not statistically significant. Most often, SLN metastases were detected when the primary tumor was localized in the back (more often in men) and lower extremities (more often in women), while they are thicker (&gt; 3.5 mm).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion: 1. According to the ROC-analysis, the optimal threshold value of the tumor thickness according to Breslow for the isolation of patients with a positive prognosis of metastasis in the SLN is 2.0 mm. It is characterized by the maximum levels of sensitivity (79 %) and specificity (59.1 %). 2. Statistically significant prognostic factors of metastasis in SLN: localization of the primary tumor in the back (more often in men) and lower extremities (more often in women); Breslow thickness over 3.5 mm. 3. The absence of the influence of gender and age was noted, with a slight predominance of women in both groups. </p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>меланома кожи</kwd><kwd>сторожевые лимфатические узлы</kwd><kwd>метастазы</kwd><kwd>толщина по Бреслоу</kwd><kwd>сцинтиграфия</kwd><kwd>прогностические факторы</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>skin melanoma</kwd><kwd>sentinel lymph nodes</kwd><kwd>metastases</kwd><kwd>Breslow thickness</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Morton DL, Wen DR, Wong JH, et al.
