Intra-operative lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy in laryngeal carcinoma using radiotracer injection.

The accuracy and feasibility of SLNB may be related to the location of the tumors in the larynx. For supraglottic tumors, the technique seems to be feasible with a low false negative rate. For glottis/transglottic tumors, both the detection rate and false negative rate seem to be suboptimal. Further studies are needed to validate our results.
