Abstract

Intraoperative analysis of lymph nodes during a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) procedure could result in one-step surgery for early oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with an occult nodal metastasis. One-step nucleic acid amplification rapidly detects cytokeratin 19 (CK19) RNA with high accuracy. Sensitivity and specificity of CK19 expression in OSCC was evaluated. Immunohistochemical CK19 expression was done in 207 patients with OSCC with 65 cases of paired nodal metastases. CK19 was expressed in 65% of all OSCC and even less in early OSCC (56%), with poor correlation between primary tumor and (occult) nodal metastasis. Furthermore, ectopic glandular tissue in close proximity of lymph nodes showed strong CK19 expression. CK19 lacks both sensitivity and specificity as a biomarker for nodal metastasis in OSCC, which questions the suitability for CK19-based one-step nucleic acid amplification in SLNB procedures. Therefore, future studies should focus on other biomarkers, because the concept of fast intraoperative diagnostics during SLNB remains attractive.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 June 2017.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Head & Neck
#2,655
of 4,003 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#253,965
of 329,377 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Head & Neck
#45
of 81 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,003 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,377 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 81 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
