Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been widely studied in a number of cancer types. As far as cervical cancer is concerned, this technique has already been used, revealing both positive results and several issues to be solved. The debate on the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in cervical cancer is still open although most of the studies have already revealed its superiority over complete lymphadenectomy and the best handling possible of the emerging practical problems. Further research should be made in order to standardize this method and include it in the clinical routine.
前哨淋巴结活检已在多种癌症类型中得到广泛研究。就宫颈癌而言，这项技术已经被应用，既显示出了积极的结果，也暴露出了一些有待解决的问题。尽管大多数研究已经揭示了前哨淋巴结活检在宫颈癌中的作用优于根治性淋巴结清扫术以及对新出现的实际问题的最佳处理方式，但关于其在宫颈癌中作用的争论仍在继续。应该进行进一步的研究，以便规范该方法并将其纳入临床常规。
