Sentinel node technologies in low-resource settings: Current evidence and future perspectives

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to evaluate the feasibility and challenges of implementing sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in gynecologic oncology within low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). They highlight that while SLN mapping offers improved staging and reduced morbidity, barriers such as cost, tracer availability, and infrastructure limitations hinder its widespread adoption. The paper suggests that innovative solutions and international collaboration are essential for advancing SLN mapping and enhancing cancer care equity in these regions.
