Sentinel node imaging
has recently become a routine procedure to check
for metastatic disease of breast cancer and
melanomas. Sentinel node imaging has actually
been around since the early 1950's with Ernest
Gould's work with parotid tumors. However, it
is Ramon Cabanas, a South American surgeon, that is
generally attributed for his concept of the
sentinel node being predictive of the status of the
regional lymphatic system, following his pioneering
work on the lymphatic drainage in carcinoma of the
penis.
