Abstract
Methylene Blue dye is used during sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with breast cancer to identify the sentinel node(s) draining the tissue where the tumour is located. The dye stains the skin and tissue beneath with a blue discolouration which some patients find troublesome. This study ascertained the duration of discolouration in a sample of patients who had SLNB and wide local excision at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust between December 2009 and March 2011. Our aim was to provide patients with more detailed information about what to expect following treatment.
