Sentinel Lymph Node Procedures in Gynecological Malignancies
Journal Title: Nükleer Tıp Seminerleri - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping procedures have been used for many years in malignancies like breast carcinoma and malignant melanoma. For two decades, there has been an effort to use these procedures in gynecological malignancies. Experience is growing with succesfull results from investigations. In our review, we discussed the technical aspects of SLN procedures with regard to the effects on clinical management and its place in guidelines.
