[Role of sentinel lymph nodes in treatment of head and neck cancer]
Abstract
Current points of view on significance of sentinel node biopsy in No-neck are presented and at the same time is pointed out the importance of this technique for the detection of occult cervical metastases. Methods of identification of the sentinel lymph nodes are described. Usefulness of the handheld gamma probe to determine the position of sentinel nodes during operative procedure was emphasised.
