What’s Known
SLNB has replaced ALND in the evaluation of axilla in early-stage breast cancer. Studies have shown that the combined use of preoperative scintigraphic mapping, intraoperative blue dye and gamma probe methods increase the success of SLN detection in breast cancer. Early and delayed images are routinely taken in lymphoscintigraphy but we did not find a study designed like ours evaluating the reflection of the early and delayed images taken during lymphoscintigraphy into clinical practice.
