Abstrakt: Background: Radar-guided localization (RGL) offers a wire-free, nonradioactive surgical guidance method consisting of a small percutaneously-placed radar reflector and handheld probe. This study investigates the feasibility, timing, and outcomes of RGL for melanoma metastasectomy.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients at our cancer center who underwent RGL resection of metastatic melanoma between December 2020-June 2023. Data pertaining to patients' melanoma history, management, reflector placement and retrieval, and follow-up was extracted from patient charts and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: Twenty-three RGL cases were performed in patients with stage III-IV locoregional or oligometastatic disease, 10 of whom had reflectors placed prior to neoadjuvant therapy. Procedures included soft tissue nodule removals (8), index lymph node removals (13), and therapeutic lymph node dissections (2). Reflectors were located and retrieved intraoperatively in 96% of cases from a range of 2 to 282 days after placement; the last reflector was not able to be located during surgery via probe or intraoperative ultrasound. One retrieved reflector had migrated from the index lesion, thus overall success rate of reflector and associated index lesion removal was 21 of 23 (91%). All RGL-localized and retrieved index lesions that contained viable tumor (10) had microscopically negative margins. There were no complications attributable to reflector insertion and no unexpected complications of RGL surgery.
Conclusion: In our practice, RGL is a safe and effective surgical localization method for soft tissue and nodal melanoma metastases. The inert nature of the reflector enables implantation prior to neoadjuvant therapy with utility in index lymph node removal.
