Limits of Day-Before Lymphoscintigraphy to Localize Sentinel Nodes in Women with Cervical Cancer

摘要

Lymph node status in cervical cancer is a major prognostic factor. Sentinel lymph node (SN) biopsy using radiocolloid and blue dye labeling and preoperative lymphoscintigraphy has emerged as a potential alternative to systematic lymphadenectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of preoperative lymphoscintigraphy to SN biopsy.
