The advantages and disadvantages of various tracer injection protocols for sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping have been extensively discussed in relation to breast and gastric cancer. But no such discussion has taken place in relation to SLN mapping in non-small cell lung cancer. We therefore studied the effect of two tracer injection protocols on SLN mapping in patients with non-small cell lung cancer; of particular interest was the relationship between subpleural tracer injection and identification of mediastinal SLNs.
