N2 - Evaluation of the clinical significance of the sentinel node concept in GI cancer has just begun. The authors' preliminary data, using intraoperative radio-guided sentinel node navigation by preoperative endoscopic submucosal injection technique, followed by intraoperative gamma probing, suggested that it is worthwhile to continue evaluating this procedure to determine its role in an accurate staging, and a minimally invasive approach to early GI cancers.
