[Use of the lymphoscintigraphy in detection of sentinel lymph nodes of the neck].
Technique of the application of radioactive tracer to the primary tumor and lymphoscintigraphy with use of the stationary and handheld gamma probe was presented. Various types of the used radioactive tracers were characterized. Scintigraphical criteria for sentinel nodes recognition were discussed. Advantages and limitations of the use of lymphoscintigraphy for sentinel nodes detection were described. Necessity of further study to determine feasibility of sentinel nodes radiolocalization in stage N0 in head and neck cancer was pointed out.
