Nodal status is an important prognostic factor in oral cancer. Sentinel node studies may enable accurate identification of high‐risk nodes without a formal neck dissection. Imprint cytology is an emerging tool to assist in the rapid intraoperative detection of nodal metastases with encouraging results in other solid tumors. This study was planned to evaluate a novel method of intraoperative staging using sentinel node biopsy and intraoperative imprint cytology in oral cancer.
