Abstract:
New trial have shown that immediate regional lymph node dissection offers increased survival in patients with regional lymph node metastases only. Introduction of isotope technique to identify the first node, the sentinel node (SN), receiving lymph from a tumour area has made it possible to avoid node dissection in SN metastasis negative patients. The feasibility of the technique is illustrated by to examples.
