Abstract

Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is used for surgically staging the axilla in breast cancer. This involves injecting blue dye and/or radioisotope tracer to localize the sentinel node/nodes. Lymphoscintigram is used preoperatively but the diagnostic accuracy it adds to the procedure is doubtful. This study aims to compare the number of sentinel nodes seen on histopathology and the results on Lymphoscintigraphy.
