Abstract:
In cases of oral cavity cancer a reliable diagnostic technique is needed to detect occult regional lymph node metastases and to avoid futile elective neck dissections as well as undertreatment. The first studies revealed a sensitivity of 94%. However, the sentinel node procedure is not yet a routinely performed procedure in oral cancer.
