Abstract
Surprisingly, the results of our study do not support the clinical usefulness of sentinel lymph node detection as a reliable and accurate staging method in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. We observed that lymphoscintigraphy was not a reliable method for detecting micrometastases in patients diagnosed with a squamous-cell carcinoma of the oral cavity without clinical evidence of neck matastases.
