Abstract

The article summarizes current possibilities of usage of the One-Step Nucleic Acid Amplification method (OSNA) in the perioperative management of sentinel lymph nodes in oncologic surgery. The principle of this method is the detection of cytokeratin 19 (CK19) in the lymphatic tissue as a marker of the metastatic spread.
