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.
