| Summary: | Thyroid cancer has been usually treated by total or near total thyroidectomy in association with cervical
lymph node dissection and followed by adjuvant oncological and endocrinological treatment. In order to
maximize the effect of the surgical approach and to minimize the perioperative rates of complications, certain
authors proposed the introduction of the sentinel node detection; however, the method has certain
particularities due to the complex lymphatic anatomy of the cervical region. This is a literature review of the
more significant studies conducted so far on this theme. |
