“…It also avoids all the disposal procedures of materials contaminated by radioactive substance and the compulsory closure times of the operating room required by law. This method does not imply a loss of information since the scintigraphic examination can be replaced by one using the magnetic detector; in this way, there would be a complete elimination of the exposure to ionizing radiation both to the healthcare team and the patient [ 18 ]. This will also reduce the time required for the patient’s diagnostic procedure, thus decreasing their psychological stress, which is already of considerable importance, since they are faced with a malignant pathology [ 19 ] ( Table 5 ).…”

(1) Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is important in the search for metastases, especially in patients with malignant breast disease. Our study proposed new techniques to prevent complications such as possible postoperative seroma formation, pain or hypoesthesia of the axillary cord and medial arm surface, as well as motor deficits, to avoid disabling outcomes and presents initial data from our experience with the sentinel lymph node biopsy technique. (2) Methods: We mainly used two radioactive tracer detection techniques and a new technique using a radiotracer called Sentimag-magtrace. The positive lymph node was located and removed to perform histologic analysis. In our study, we evaluate 100 patients who underwent breast cancer surgery. (3) Results: We calculated the identification rates of the different methods of sentinel lymph node detection and found that it was 88.9% using radioactive tracers vs. 89.5% using the magnetic tracer technology (Sentimag). (4) Conclusions: Thus, this technique avoids radiation exposure for both patients and health care providers, and can reduce costs and time.

(1) Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy assumes importance in the search for metastases, especially in patients with malignant breast disease. Our study approaches the new techniques to prevent complications such as possible postoperative seroma formation, pain or hypoesthesia of the axillary cord and medial arm surface, as well as motor deficits in a preventive manner to avoid disabling outcomes and presents initial data from its experience with the sentinel lymph node biopsy technique. (2) Methods: There are mainly two radioactive tracer detection techniques and a new technique using a radiotracer called Sentimag-magtrace. The positive lymph node is located and removed to perform histologic analysis. In our study, we evaluate 100 patients who underwent breast cancer surgery (3) Results: our experience allowed us to calculate the identification rate with the different methods of sentinel lymph nodes by radioactive tracer 88.9 % vs magnetic tracer technology (Sentimag) 89.5%. (4) Conclusions: Thus, this technique avoids radiation exposure for both patients and health care providers, as well as reducing costs and time.
