This book provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of lymph node micrometastasis (LMM) and sentinel node navigation surgery (SNNS) in gastrointestinal cancers.
本书提供了胃肠道癌症淋巴结微转移 （LMM） 和前哨淋巴结导航手术 （SNNS） 的最全面和最新的知识。

Lymph node metastasis is a critically important prognostic factor in gastrointestinal tract cancers such as tumors of the esophagus, stomach, and colorectum. An understanding of the basic aspects of lymphatics and lymph nodes, including anatomy, histology, physiology, immunology, and molecular biology, is fundamental for physicians who are involved in cancer treatment. Furthermore, owing to the development of molecular and biological methodology, the precise recognition of LMM and its clinical significance have been clarified recently.
淋巴结转移是胃肠道癌症（如食管、胃和结直肠肿瘤）中至关重要的预后因素。了解淋巴管和淋巴结的基本方面，包括解剖学、组织学、生理学、免疫学和分子生物学，对于参与癌症治疗的医生来说至关重要。此外，由于分子和生物学方法学的发展，LMM的精确识别及其临床意义已于近期得到澄清。

At the same time, SNNS has actually been anticipated in treatment of breast tumors, and it is now being introduced in gastrointestinal tract cancer. For the application of SNNS, the detection of lymph node metastasis including LMM is extremely significant, because the presence of LMM determines the direction for surgery and chemo and/or radiation therapy.

With these considerations in mind, the expert contributors to this book review basic and clinical approaches for LMM and SNNS including methodology for gastrointestinal cancers. Thus this volume benefits not only surgeons who treat gastrointestinal cancers but also clinical oncologists and medical scientists such as physiologists and pathologists.
