Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in clinical lymph node negative oral squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) by using methylene blue staining were employed to 20 patients with clinical cervical lymph node negative in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Results SLNB was successful identified in 14 of 20(70%). A 100%(6/6) accuracy of SLNB to predict cervical lymph node status was reached. Conclusion SLNB could accurately predict the cervical status of clinical negative node and decrease the extent of surgery and postoperative complication
