Abstract

The theory of lymphatic spread of cancer represents a basic chapter in the book of modern oncology. It was Cabanas (Cancer 39(2):456–466, 1977) in 1977 who introduced in the clinical practice the sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) to stage penile carcinoma. Since those early efforts, many studies have clarified SLND’s crucial role in the staging of ectoderm-derived tumors, particularly in melanoma and breast cancer; anyway, the efficacy of SLN biopsy in the staging or treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer has still to be proved.
