Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Using Peritumoral Injection With Blue Dye Confirmation
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Sentinel Node Biopsy for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 699 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We continue to collect information in support of the hypothesis that the histology of the first draining lymph node (sentinel node) accurately predicts the histology of the rest of the axillary lymph nodes.

Timeline
Interventions
Once the patient is asleep under anesthetic, they receive an intraoperative injection of 1.0 mCi of Technetium-99 sulfur colloid into normal breast tissue surrounding the primary cancer or biopsy cavity directed subareolar or around the tumor. This is followed by blue dye injected in the subareolar complex approximately 5 minutes prior to incision. The sentinel node biopsy is performed, followed by lumpectomy/mastectomy, and a completion axillary node dissection if the sentinel node(s) were positive.
