Abstract

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is used to determine the pathological status of the first lymph node receiving lymphatic drainage from the primary tumor. The diagnostic value of SLNB for the assessment of the nodal status in patients with cervical cancer has not been determined. Therefore, this meta‑analysis was conducted to assess the diagnostic value of SLNB in cervical cancer. A search for related literature was performed using PubMed. data were analyzed using a random effects model and a subgroup analysis was used to assess the diagnostic value of different practices during the process. A total of 17 studies involving a total of 1,112 patients were included in the analysis. The pooled sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection rate, sensitivity and negative predictive values were 92.2% [95% confidence interval (CI): 88.3‑94.8%], 88.8% (95% CI: 85.1‑91.7%) and 95.0% (95% CI: 92.8‑96.6%), respectively. The subgroup analysis revealed that laparoscopy, tracer combination and immunohistochemistry were associated with a higher SLN detection rate. In conclusion, the SLNB in cervical cancer appears to be of diagnostic value, particularly the procedure with the combination of laparoscopy, combined tracers and immunohistochemistry. However, further studies are required to establish the clinical value of SLNB in cervical cancer.
