[Sentinel lymph node selective biopsy in prostate cancer.]

CONCLUSION: The SLNSB with 99mTc has a high sensitivity and a VPN of 100%, increasing the identification of lymphatic metastases outside the territory of the ePLND. Fluorescence can facilitate the visualization of the sentinel nodes when they have been previously located by the SPECT-CT, although the sensitivity and the NPV of the ICG are lower than that of the 99mTc.
