Abstract
The study objective is to investigate the causes of insufficient efficiency of neck lymph node dissection and possibilities of its improvement in cancer of the oral mucosa without clinically detectable metastases.
Materials and methods. A review of literature on surgical methods of affecting regional lymph collectors in cancers of the oral cavity was performed, and preliminary data on possibilities of biopsy of the sentinel lymph node were obtained.
Conclusion. Combination of fluorescent lymph node mapping andflow cytometry allows to identify the sentinel lymph node and detect hidden micrometastases with high sensitivity.
