- Abstract
Background: We explored the role of lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymphadenectomy (originally described for melanoma and breast cancer) in colon cancer. Pathologic techniques can successfully identify micrometastatic disease in lymph nodes, but they are not suitable for clinical routine use. We evaluated the role of sentinel node (SN) mapping in refining the staging of colorectal cancer.
