Measures of performance for sentinel lymph node biopsy in oro-oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The additional contribution of optical tracers (mainly represented by blue dye) to the radiocolloid-based techniques did not improve significantly the measures of performance.
