Abstract:
The present reflection of lymphadenectomy's history shows that the following questions have been discussed since about 100 years: How does the lymph node dissection affect the treatment of cancer? Does it reduce the local recurrence rate? Does a lymph node dissection improve the survival rate or permit a more specific staging of the tumour's extension? The principles of metastatic ways as well as their mechanisms have already been discussed in the 1920s.
