Objective:To determine whether the current standard of cervical cancer staging is sentinel lymph node biopsy.Method:Review of the literature focusing on the significance of the sentinel node concept in patients with cervical cancer. Because of the data on the significance of the intraoperative histopathological assessment of sentinel lymph nodes, the role of micrometastasis in lymph nodes, and the standards of procedure, the sentinel procedure were analyzed.Result:Sentinel lymph node biopsy alone is currently not a routine procedure for cervical cancer staging. This procedure should be performed only by specialized centers in a study setting. More data on its oncological safety are needed.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been widely studied in a number of cancer types. As far as cervical cancer is concerned, this technique has already been used, revealing both positive results and several issues to be solved. The debate on the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in cervical cancer is still open although most of the studies have already revealed its superiority over complete lymphadenectomy and the best handling possible of the emerging practical problems. Further research should be made in order to standardize this method and include it in the clinical routine.
