Abstract:
Sentinel lymph node(SLN) is prevalently studied in breast cancer and malignant melanoma as well as being applied in clinical practice.Currently,the study on sentinel lymph node of gastric cancer has gradually been a vital component in the study of diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.Sentinel lymph node examination is feasibly applied in clinical T1N0M0 stage gastric cancer or early gastric cancer because of its high accuracy and sensibility.However,the sentinel lymph node examination is not suitable for advanced gastric cancer due to low sensibility and high false negative rate.The article mainly reviewed the advances on SLN tracer,application,micrometastasis,imaging system and so on in gastric cancer.
