Abstract
Our study shows that SLN biopsy in cN0 neck of patients with oral cavity and oropharyngeal carcinoma is both feasible and accurate. Provided that larger studies confirm our results, an elective neck dissection may become unnecessary if fine-sectioned frozen-section analysis of the SLN shows no nodal metastases in patients with cN0 oral cavity and oropharynx carcinoma.
