Oncology Imaging: Updates and Advancements
Imaging is at the core of surgical oncology. Longstanding techniques, such as computed tomography and MRI, as well as nuclear medicine methods, such as PET, have been studied and refined over the years. They form the basis of preoperative staging and complex surgical planning. For a long time, surgeons relied on these preoperative scans, and there was little imaging performed intraoperatively to guide surgical resection. (Source: Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America)

5-Aminolevulinic Acid Imaging of Malignant Glioma
High-grade glioma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. Glioma infiltration renders it difficult to treat and likely to recur. Increasing the extent of resection has been associated with improving progression-free survival and overall survival by several months. The introduction of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence-guided surgery has allowed surgeons to better differentiate between neoplastic tissue and normal tissue, thus achieving greater extent of resection. The development of new intraoperative imaging modalities in combination with 5-ALA may provide additional benefits for glioma patient...

Advances in Imaging to Aid Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer
Pulmonary segmentectomy has become a widely accepted technique for resection of early-stage lung cancers. Intraoperative identification of small nodules within the lung parenchyma and definition of segmental anatomy are essential for oncologic segmental resection and significantly enhanced by recent advances in imaging techniques. Advances in imaging for nodule localization, using preoperative markers and three-dimensional computed tomography, delineation of segmental anatomy, and sentinel lymph node mapping have become important components of planning and performing minimally invasive anatomic segmentectomies and are part...

Innovations in Parathyroid Localization Imaging
During cervical surgery, localization and identification of parathyroid glands is key to both the removal of abnormal hyperfunctioning glands and the preservation of normal glands. The challenging nature of parathyroid localization has fostered innovation in imaging techniques to localize glands both before and during cervical operations. Advances in preoperative imaging include PET-based imaging modalities paired with computed tomography or MRI for anatomic correlation. During surgery, both parathyroid autofluorescence and contrast-enhanced fluorescence techniques are useful adjuncts for intraoperative identification. (So...

Applications of Three-Dimensional Printing in Surgical Oncology
A variety of three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques and materials facilitate the creation of customized models that promise to improve surgical procedures and patient outcomes. Three-dimensional-printed models allow patients, trainees, and experienced surgeons to explore anatomy through direct visualization and tactile feedback. Although 3D-printed models serve a range of purposes including preoperative planning, education, skills refinement, patient-specific intraprocedural guides, and implants, much work remains to decrease the turnaround time and cost of printing models, collect long-term effectiveness data, and ref...

Intraoperative Molecular Imaging of Lung Cancer
Intraoperative molecular imaging shows great promise in the surgical treatment of lung cancer, in particular tumor localization, margin assessment, identification of additional nodules, and even potentially lymph node assessment. Advances in imaging agents and fluorescence surgical cameras will be the key. Although no imaging agent is currently Food and Drug Administration approved, targeted, near-infrared agents such as OTL38 are in phase III trials.

Contrast-Enhanced Intraoperative Ultrasound of the Liver
Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CE-IOUS) is a relatively new but valuable tool that is increasingly used as an adjunct to computed tomography, MRI, and IOUS for patients undergoing liver surgery. CE-IOUS has an important role in 2 main settings: the discrimination of indeterminate lesions detected in cirrhotic livers by conventional IOUS and in the detection of colorectal liver metastasis that may be overlooked by other imaging modalities. The intraoperative nature of the imaging and interpretation allows for CE-IOUS to directly affect surgical decision-making that may importantly affect patient outcomes. (Sou...

Molecular and Anatomic Imaging of Neuroendocrine Tumors
Positron emission tomography (PET) with somatostatin receptor (SSTR) ligands has taken the lead in the imaging of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). In this article, we review the role of SSTR PET scan in the management of NETs, including the indications for the scan, pitfalls in interpretation, and imaging selection criteria for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. We also discuss the complementary role of fluorodeoxyglucose PET particularly for patients with high-grade disease. (Source: Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America)
