Summary In human solid cancer, the lymph node (LN) status is the most important prognostic indicator for the clinical outcome of patients. Various developments in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) concept and technology have resulted in the application of this revolutionary approach to define the draining or SLN to which the cancer may have metastasized
