Sentinel node biopsy for oral cancer – from guideline to reality. A review of UK training

Introduction: In January 2016, the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended that patients with cT1-T2 N0 oral cancer not requiring reconstruction should be offered sentinel node biopsy (SNB). At that time three units in the UK were routinely offering SNB. With this in mind a national training program was created to facilitate quality assured training for head and neck units nationwide. This review appraises the process and progress of training in the UK. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
