Cover Story: The idea of developing a study on lymphatic drainage of head and neck cancers and, in particular, in melanomas of this district was born to evaluate the clinical predictability of sentinel lymph nodes. In this field, radio-guided research plays a key role in identifying the lymph node stations that drain the tumor, allowing for improvements in patient outcome. Through hybrid imaging, nuclear medicine provides essential help in guiding surgical strategy and a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to ensure the best possible treatment for patients.View this paper.
