    Abstract:

    Background and objectives: To assess frequency and signifi- cance of enlarged nonpalpable Supraclavicular Lymph Nodes with routine ultrasound (US) evaluation and US-guided fine- needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for the diagnosis and staging of patients with lung cancer. Materials and methods: 106 consecutive patients with lung cancer and nonpalpable Supraclavicular Lymph Nodes were evaluated with cervical US for the presence of pathological Lymph Nodes. FNAB was performed in patients with Nodes with short-axis > 5 mm, rounded shape and missing echogenic hilum. Results: 27 (25.5%) patients had enlarged Supraclavicular Lymph Nodes on US. Fourteen patients (13.2%) had cytologically proven Lymph node involvement. Supraclavicular Lymph node metastasis was more frequent in patients with medi- astinal invasion (p = 0.0001) and patients with enlarged Lymph Nodes on upper paratracheal stations on thorax CT (p = 0.0001). No relation was found between Supraclavicular Lymph node involvement and T stage (p = 0.27), distant metastasis (p = 0.50) or histological type (p = 0.80). Three patients were upstaged from IIIA to IIIB status. US-guided FNAB was the only diagnostic method in 2 patients. Conclusion: US-guided FNAB is a simple and safe procedure which can document N3 stage of disease in lung cancer patients. Thereby more invasive and expensive diagnostic procedures can be avoided in selected lung cancer patients.

Razionale ed obiettivi Valutare la frequenza e la rilevanza di linfonodi sopraclaveari di dimensioni aumentate, ma non palpabili, mediante una valutazione routinaria con ultrasuoni (US) ed una biopsia mediante agoaspirato con ago sottile (FNAB) sotto guida US per la diagnosi e la stadiazione dei pazienti con tumore polmonare. Materiali e metodi 106 pazienti consecutivi con cancro del polmone e linfonodi sopraclaveari non palpabili sono stati indagati con US cervicali per valutare la presenza di linfonodi patologici. Nei pazienti con linfonodi aventi asse minore > 5 mm, forma arrotondata ed ilo non evidenziabile ecograficamente è stata praticata la FNAB. Risultati 27 (25,5%) pazienti avevano linfonodi sopraclaveari di dimensioni aumentate all’indagine US. 14 pazienti (13,2%) sono risultati positivi alla citologia sull’agoaspirato. Le metastasi ai linfonodi sopraclaveari sono risultate più frequenti nei pazienti con interessamento del mediastino (p = 0,0001) e nei pazienti che alla TAC torace mostravano un ingrandimento delle stazioni linfonodali paratracheali superiori (p = 0,0001). Non sono state riscontrate correlazioni tra l’interessamento dei linfonodi sopraclaveari e stadio T (p = 0,27), metastasi a distanza (p = 0,50) o istotipo (p = 0,80). Tre pazienti sono stati allocati ad una stadiazione peggiore, da IIIA a IIIB. In 2 pazienti la FNAB US-guidata è risultata l’unica metodica che ha permesso la diagnosi. Conclusioni La FNAB US-guidata è una procedura semplice e sicura che permette di documentare lo stadio N3 in pazienti con cancro polmonare. Quindi procedure diagnostiche più invasive e dispendiose possono essere evitate in pazienti selezionati con tumore polmonare.

    Abstract:

    Background and objectives: T o assess frequency and significance of enlarged nonpalpable Supraclavicular Lymph Nodes with routine ultrasound (US) evaluation and US-guided fineneedle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for the diagnosis and staging of patients with lung cancer. Materials and methods: 106 consecutive patients with lung cancer and nonpalpable Supraclavicular Lymph Nodes were evaluated with cervical US for the presence of pathological Lymph Nodes. FNAB was performed in patients with Nodes with short-axis > 5 mm, rounded shape and missing echogenic hilum. Results: 27 (25.5%) patients had enlarged Supraclavicular Lymph Nodes on US. Fourteen patients (13.2%) had cytologically proven Lymph node involvement. Supraclavicular Lymph node metastasis was more frequent in patients with mediastinal invasion (p = 0.0001) and patients with enlarged Lymph Nodes on upper paratracheal stations on thorax CT (p = 0.0001). No relation was found between Supraclavicular Lymph node involvement and T stage (p = 0.27), distant metastasis (p = 0.50) or histological type (p = 0.80). Three patients were upstaged from IIIA to IIIB status. US-guided FNAB was the only diagnostic method in 2 patients. Conclusion: US-guided FNAB is a simple and safe procedure

Conclusion: US-guided FNAB is a simple and safe procedure which can document N3 stage of disease in lung cancer patients. Thereby more invasive and expensive diagnostic procedures can be avoided in selected lung cancer patients.

Razionale ed obiettivi Valutare la frequenza e la rilevanza di linfonodi sopraclaveari di dimensioni aumentate, ma non palpabili, mediante una valutazione routinaria con ultrasuoni (US) ed una biopsia mediante agoaspirato con ago sottile (FNAB) sotto guida US per la diagnosi e la stadiazione dei pazienti con tumore polmonare. Materiali e metodi 106 pazienti consecutivi con cancro del polmone e linfonodi sopraclaveari non palpabili sono stati indagati con US cervicali per valutare la presenza di linfonodi patologici. Nei pazienti con linfonodi aventi asse minore > 5 mm, forma arrotondata ed ilo non evidenziabile ecograficamente è stata praticata la FNAB. Risultati 27 (25,5%) pazienti avevano linfonodi sopraclaveari di dimensioni aumentate all’indagine US. 14 pazienti (13,2%) sono risultati positivi alla citologia sull’agoaspirato. Le metastasi ai linfonodi sopraclaveari sono risultate più frequenti nei pazienti con interessamento del mediastino (p = 0,0001) e nei pazienti che alla TAC torace mostravano un ingrandimento delle stazioni linfonodali paratracheali superiori (p = 0,0001). Non sono state riscontrate correlazioni tra l’interessamento dei linfonodi sopraclaveari e stadio T (p = 0,27), metastasi a distanza (p = 0,50) o istotipo (p = 0,80). Tre pazienti sono stati allocati ad una stadiazione peggiore, da IIIA a IIIB. In 2 pazienti la FNAB US-guidata è risultata l’unica metodica che ha permesso la diagnosi. Conclusioni La FNAB US-guidata è una procedura semplice e sicura che permette di documentare lo stadio N3 in pazienti con cancro polmonare. Quindi procedure diagnostiche più invasive e dispendiose possono essere evitate in pazienti selezionati con tumore polmonare.
