Abstract
Lymphoscintigraphy and radioguided surgery are valuable tools for contemporary surgical staging of malignancies, but they require attention to detail and a moderate level of experience for optimal clinical use. Wide use of these procedures has demonstrated that the methodology can be learned with guidance from a few dozen cases. Their accurate use significantly enhances the sentinel node technique.
