Sentinel-Lymphknoten bei Mundhöhlen- und Rachen-Tumoren

Zusammenfassung

Die Exzision von Sentinel-Lymphknoten bekommt eine zunehmende Bedeutung bei der Diagnostik von Mundhöhlen- und Oropharynx-Karzinomen im Falle eines klinischen N0-Halses. Die Wertigkeit der Sentinel-Lymphknoten-Biopsie als minimal-invasiver Staging-Methode des Halses bei T1-2-Tumoren kann aufgrund der jüngsten internationalen multizentrischen Studien als gesichert gelten. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt die Technik und orientiert sich an den neuesten europäischen Leitlinien.

Abstract

The excision of sentinel lymph nodes has a growing relevance in the diagnosis of oral and oropharyngeal cancer in cases of clinical N0 necks. The validity of sentinel node biopsy as minimally invasive staging tool of the neck in T1-2 tumours can be considered as proven due to most recent international multicentre studies. The present paper describes the technique and follows the newest European guide lines.
