ÁMSTERDAM, June 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

- Lanzamiento de LYMPHOSEEK®▼ (99mTc-tilmanocept) en Europa - Nueva radiofarmacéutica ofrece un estándar de diagnóstico de "próxima generación" cuando se realiza la biopsia de nodo linfático centinela 

Norgine B.V. ha anunciado hoy el lanzamiento de LYMPHOSEEK® (technetium Tc 99m tilmanocept) en Dinamarca, Países Bajos y el Reino Unido. LYMPHOSEEK® es una radiofarmacéutica de "próxima generación" que, cuando se utiliza en una biopsia de nódulo linfático centinela (SLNB), representa una importante alternativa al actual método de identificación de nódulos linfáticos centinelas en pacientes adultos con cáncer de mama, melanoma o carcinoma de células escamosas localizado de la cavidad oral.

Para ver el comunicado multimedia, haga clic en:

https://www.multivu.com/players/uk/8120051-norgine-lymphoseek-launch-europe/

LYMPHOSEEK® se ha diseñado específicamente para dirigirse y vincularse a los nódulos linfáticos centinelas y ser retenido en ellos; el primer nódulo linfático (o grupo de nodos) al que las células cancerígenas tienen más probabilidad de expandirse desde un tumor primario.[1],[2],[3] LYMPHOSEEK® tiene un índice de falso negativo del 2,6% en carcinoma de célula escamosa oral T1-T4cN0 (OSCC).[1] Detectó nodos linfáticos centinelas en el 98% de los pacientes con cáncer de mama Tis, Tx o T1-T4cN0 y melanoma T1-T4cN0.[1],[4]

LYMPHOSEEK® ofrece un valor particular al identificar un drenaje linfático desde los tumores en el suelo de la boca (bajo la lengua), que puede ser especialmente difícil.[6] Actualmente hasta el 70-80% de los pacientes con cáncer oral temprano reciben cirugía de disección de cuello electiva, un importante procedimiento que podría evitarse utilizando biopsia de nódulos linfáticos centinela (SLNB) para preparar el terreno.[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10] En los grandes mercados europeos*, se diagnosticaron 76.917 nuevos casos de cáncer de cabeza y cuello en 2014.[11]

"Las zonas de la boca y cuello están envueltas con estructuras vitales que afectan a la vista, oído, sabor y olor y funciones esenciales como la respiración, la sudoración o el habla; todas ellas pueden resultar dañadas durante la cirugía de cabeza y cuello", dijo el profesor Mark McGurk, cirujano consultor en la Head & Neck Oncology Unit, University College Hospital London. "Adoptar SLNB para prepararse para esta enfermedad significa que la mayoría de los pacientes con cáncer oral en fase temprana pueden evitar una disección del cuello y, para ellos, un procedimiento innecesario".

"Utilizar LYMPHOSEEK® en la biopsia de nódulo linfático centinela tiene el potencial para afectar positivamente en los pacientes, cirujanos y el uso de los recursos hospitalarios", comentó el profesor John Buscombe, director de Medicina Nuclear, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge. "La experiencia temprana sugiere que LYMPHOSEEK® puede apoyar una transición gestionada y prevista de pacientes desde imagen a cirugía, reduciendo la cantidad de tiempo que ambos pacientes y equipos quirúrgicos esperan, ya que pueden estar seguros de que LYMPHOSEEK® se retiene en los nódulos linfáticos para notificar la cirugía al siguiente día".

"Peter Martin, director de Operaciones de Norgine, comentó: "Como compañía farmacéutica multiespecializada europea, Norgine pretende que todos los pacientes aptos tengan sus cánceres enfocados con precisión utilizando la biopsia de nódulo linfático centinela con LYMPHOSEEK®. Esto resultará en una reducción de las intervenciones quirúrgicas innecesarias que puede optimizar el uso de los recursos sanitarios y mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes".

LYMPHOSEEK®, autorizado por Norgine, de Navidea Biopharmaceuticals Inc, para la comercialización y distribución en Europa y otros mercados clave.  

*Los países incluidos fueron Francia, Alemania, Italia, España y el Reino Unido.
