Letter to the editor: “Sentinel node biopsy in early oral squamous cell carcinomas: Long-term follow-up and nodal failure analysis”

We would like to take the opportunity to comment on the recently published article by Moya-Plana [1] et al. "Sentinel node biopsy in early oral squamous cell carcinomas: Long-term follow-up and nodal failure analysis". Survival benefits of sentinel node biopsy (SNB) were previously demonstrated over watchful waiting in the management of squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity (OCSCC) with clinically negative neck (cN0) [2–4]. We also know the END could benefit cN0 OCSCC patients compared with watchful waiting [5].
