Sentinel Node Identification in melanoma: current clinical impact, new emerging SPECT radiotracers and technological advancements. An update of the last decade.

CONCLUSIONS: This review examined the predictive and prognostic factors of lymphoscintigraphy for metastatic involvement of SLN, the currently available and emerging radiotracers and the evidence of the additional value of SPECT/CT over PL for the identification of SLN in patients with melanoma. Finally, the review discussed the most recent technical advances in the field. PMID: 31749441 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
