Sentinel Biopsy for Oral Cancer in Chicago & Northwest Indiana
Our surgeons perform sentinel lymph node biopsies (SNLB). SNLB may be an alternative to a selective neck dissection for cancers of the oral cavity. SNLB allows for sampling lymphnodes in the neck to check if there is cancerous spread in them. The procedure is usually shorter than a traditional neck dissection and utilizes smaller incisions. Ask you OMHNA surgeon if you are candidate for SNLB.
With both medical and dental degrees, our OMHNA head and neck cancer team is well versed in the maxillofacial reconstruction of complex cancer patients. Our surgeons utilize cutting-edge technology including virtual planning in executing reconstructive procedures for head and neck cancer patients. Our cancer team has a strong dedication to helping patients maintain the best possible quality of life during and after treatment. If you are a head and neck cancer patient visit our Oral Cancer Institute site for additional information.
