Advances in micrometastasis of sentinel lymph node in cervical cancer / 实用肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

The main metastatic pathway for cervical cancer is lymph node metastasis. Sentinel lymph nodes are the first site of lymph node metastasis. Lymph node metastasis is a result of lymph node micrometastasis. However,lymph node micrometastasis is usu-ally neglected by traditional histopathology,and undetected lymph node micrometastases may lead to recurrence. This article will intro-duce the progress of research on sentinel lymph node micrometastasis in cervical cancer in recent years.
