Lymphatic drainage was followed with Tc lymphoscintigraphy. Micrometastases in head and neck cancer cases cannot be detected. The drainage pattern is highly variable and does not allow prognostic conclusions in tumors as demonstrated for the parasternal pathways. The method helps to determine the side and extent of a neck dissection prior to surgery as well as follow-up postoperatively. The development of lymphedema can be detected early in order to start treatment by manual lymph drainage.
采用锝淋巴闪烁显像法追踪淋巴引流情况。头颈部癌病例中的微转移无法检测到。其引流模式变化很大，无法像胸骨旁途径那样对肿瘤做出预后判断。该方法有助于在手术前确定颈部清扫术的范围以及术后的随访。可早期检测到淋巴水肿的发生，以便通过手法淋巴引流开始治疗。
