Abstract
Lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy are the greatest change in the clinical and surgical management of solid tumors since Halsted' popularized the concepts of radical resection of breast cancers with regional en bloc lymphadenectomy. In the last 10 years, gynecologic oncologists have begun to apply lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy to patients with gynecologic cancers. In this chapter, I will review why vulvar and cervical cancers are good targets for the mapping strategy and review the published experience in patients with vulvar, cervical, and endometrial cancers.
