Advances in image enhancement for sarcoma surgery.

Abstract：

:The recurrence rate of soft tissue and bone sarcomas strongly correlates to the status of the surgical margin after excision, yet excessive removal of tissue may lead to distinct, otherwise avoidable morbidity. Therefore, adequate margination of sarcomas both pre- and intra-operatively is a clinical necessity that has not yet fully been met. Current guidance for soft-tissue sarcomas recommends an ultrasound scan followed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For bone sarcomas, two plane radiographs are required, followed similarly by an MRI scan. The introduction of more precise imaging modalities may reduce the morbidity associated with sarcoma surgery; the PET-CT and PET-MRI approaches in particular demonstrating high clinical efficacy. Despite advancements in the accuracy in pre-operative imaging, translation of an image to surgical margins is difficult, regularly resulting in wider resection margins than required. For soft tissue sarcomas there is currently no standard technique for image guided resections, while for bone sarcomas fluoroscopy may be used, however margins are not easily discernible during the surgical procedure. Near infra-red (NIR) fluorescence guided surgery offers an intra-operative modality through which complete tumour resection with adequate tumour-free margins may be achieved, while simultaneously minimising surgical morbidity. NIR imaging presents a potentially valuable adjunct to sarcoma surgery. Early reports indicate that it may be able to provide the surgeon with helpful information on anatomy, perfusion, lymphatic drainage, tumour margins and metastases. The use of NIR fluorochromes have also been demonstrated to be well tolerated by patients. However, prior to widespread implementation, studies related to cost-effectiveness and the development of protocols are essential. Nevertheless, NIR imaging may become ubiquitous in the future, carrying the potential to transform the surgical management of sarcoma.
