Its results allow an adequate staging with a lesser associated morbidity. Nevertheless, at present, a lot of methodological variations have been described to do it and they are being studied in several in course assays and research studies. This imply Consensus Meetings are needed to harmonize the methodological aspects and the indications of the technique.
