Previous reports have shown that axillary sentinel lymph node (ASLN) radiodetection allows
accurate axillary staging for patients with early breast cancer. Radioguided surgery implies …

Background: There are still ongoing controversies about several aspects of lymphatic
mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer, including injection site of …

INTRODUCTION: Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) represents an important staging
procedure in the surgical treatment of breast cancer. However, it may result necessary in …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate 2 different injection techniques for
lymphoscintigraphy to determine the axillary sentinel lymph node (SLN) in patients with …

Background: The combination of gamma-probe radiolocalization and blue-dye mapping of
sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) has been advocated as the most accurate method for staging …

Background Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping with radioisotope and blue dye has been
advocated for the staging of clinically negative axillae in patients with breast cancer. The …

Purpose: Sentinel node (SN) biopsy is a reliable method for improved staging of breast
cancer, offering an alternative to routine axillary dissection. Perhaps preoperative …

Purpose: In an effort to optimize sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping for breast cancer, sites
of mapping agent administration and types of mapping agents used continue to be …

Objective Lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel node biopsy are used for the detection of axillary
lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients. However, currently there is no …

Background: Sentinel node (SN) biopsy appears to offer an alternative to routine axillary
lymph node dissection (ALND) for staging patients with breast cancer. Various techniques …
