- Title
Lymphatic Mapping and Sentinel Node Biopsy in Vulvar, Vaginal, and Cervical Cancers.
- Authors
Frumovitz, Michael; Levenback, Charles F.
- Abstract
The article reports on the technological considerations of lymphatic mapping techniques and sentinel node biopsy in vulvar, vaginal and cervical cancers. The authors stress their optimism about the techniques in increasing the rates of lymph node metastasis detection. Moreover, they are very positive that the techniques can help decrease morbidity associate with lymphadenectomy. Meanwhile, large validation studies are still on going in both United States and Europe.
