Abstract
The magnetic technique using superparamagnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide has been well established for sentinel lymph node detection. Its main advantage is in the context of logistics, with the possibility to inject several weeks before surgery and the possibility to give access to sentinel lymph node biopsy for women worldwide in places without nuclear medicine facilities. We have not yet seen the full potential of this technique, and new implications have been developed for breast tumour localisation with paramagnetic clips and axillary staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy using paramagnetic clips inserted in lymph node metastases before chemotherapy. In this report, we have presented our experience of the magnetic technique starting in 2014, and we have highlighted our current and future research directions.
