Outline of Final Research Achievements

Usefulness of analysis of time activity curve of dynamic sentinel lymphoscintigraphy in patients with malignant skin neoplasms was confirmed in differentiation between lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels.
In addition, anatomical analyses such as cutaneous lymphatic drainage that were not fully analyzed ever were tried.
