Authors' objectives:
To determine the test accuracy and cost-effectiveness of the SLN biopsy with (99m)Tc and/or blue dye compared with IFL or clinical follow-up for test negatives in vulval cancer, through systematic reviews and economic evaluation.
Authors' recommendations:
A sensitive and specific combined metastatic SLN detection test and information on generic QoL in vulval cancer is urgently required.
