Abstract:
Objective To study carbon nanoparticles lymphatic tracer to guide surgery for gallbladder cancer.Methods 120 patients with gallbladder cancer were randomized into two groups:the experimental group (n =60) and the control group (n =60).For the experimental group,0.1 ml carbon nanoparticles was injected at 4 ～ 6 locations subserosally around the cancerous site intraoperatively.Stained lymph nodes were used as markers to guide lymphadenectomy.The resected specimens were carefully dissected,and then the lymph nodes were studied according to their positions by histopathological examinations.Results Various degrees of stained lymph nodes were seen in the specimens.In the experimental group,the number of lymph nodes (12.0 ± 3.8),and metastatic lymph nodes (6.3 ± 3.3) per patient were obviously higher than those in the control group (9.2 ± 3.6、4.4 ± 2.8),respectively,(P ＜ 0.05).There were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05) in postoperative disease-free survival and overall survival.Conclusions Intraoperative injection of carbon nanoparticles enhanced lymph node clearance and increased the number of lymph nodes and metastatic lymph nodes dissected,which helped to guide pathological staging.There were significant improvements in disease-free survival and overall survival of these patients with gallbladder cancer after surgery.
