Core Tip	A number of studies have examined the use of sentinel lymph node biopsy in urogenital malignancies. In penile and prostate cancer it has been found to be a valuable tool to aid staging and accurately predict prognosis. Its use in renal cancer is poorly explored and would benefit from a better understanding of the lymphatic drainage of the kidney. It is also proposed that modifications of the technique such as use of positron emission tomography/computed tomography scanning and near infra-red fluorescence optical imaging agents may further improve the technique making it a feasible option for use in renal malignancy.
