Résumé

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been introduced as a diagnostic staging modality for detection of occult metastases in patients with early stage oral cancer. Comparisons regarding accuracy to the routinely used elective neck dissection (END) are lacking in literature. A retrospective, multicenter cohort study included 390 patients staged by END and 488 by SLNB. The overall sensitivity (84% vs. 81%, In the absence of randomized clinical trials, this study provides the highest available evidence that, in oral cancer, SLNB is as accurate as END in detecting occult lymph node metastases, except for floor-of-mouth tumours.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been introduced as a diagnostic staging modality for detection of occult metastases in patients with early stage oral cancer. Comparisons regarding accuracy to the routinely used elective neck dissection (END) are lacking in literature.
METHODS METHODS
A retrospective, multicenter cohort study included 390 patients staged by END and 488 by SLNB.
RESULTS RESULTS
The overall sensitivity (84% vs. 81%,
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
In the absence of randomized clinical trials, this study provides the highest available evidence that, in oral cancer, SLNB is as accurate as END in detecting occult lymph node metastases, except for floor-of-mouth tumours.
