Abstract
To analyze the effectiveness of identifying the sentinel lymph node in breast cancer using the «MARS» system for fluorescent diagnostics in near infrared light. There were 51 patients with breast cancer cT0-2N0M0 between July 2023 and October 2023. Mean age of patients was 52.3 years. Invasive ductal carcinoma was diagnosed in 39 (76.5%) patients, invasive lobular carcinoma - in 8 (15.7%) patients, other forms of breast cancer - in 4 (7.8%) patients. Sentinel lymph node was successfully identified in all cases (n=51). A total of 122 sentinel lymph nodes were detected and mapped (2.4 nodes per a patient). The MARS system for intraoperative fluorescence diagnostics in near-infrared light is effective for identifying the sentinel lymph node in breast cancer.
