Brief Summary  
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) has been proven to be an
accurate predictor of lymphatic drainage in treatment of naïve oral
cavity SCC with a sensitivity of 94%. However, necks that have
been previously treated by either surgery or radiotherapy may
have an alteration of lymphatic channels and therefore, erratic
drainage patterns. Clinical and radiological examination of such
necks may not yield an accurate prediction as occult metastasis is
difficult to gauge via these modalities. Appropriate clinical and
pathological staging of these necks is of the essence in the
management of recurrent oral cavity SCCs.
