Abstract P1-02-03: Our preliminary experience: Ultrasound guided localization of axillary lymph nodes using activated charcoal before neoadjuvant chemotherapy for guidance in axillary surgery in breast cancer patients
Abstract:The study objective is to review the rate of identification of the biopsied lymph node during surgery by placing activated charcoal in patients with node-positive breast cancer prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The secondary objective is to validate the concordance of tattooed lymph node with the sentinel nodes resected during surgery at the final pathological examination. Background: The SENTINA study concluded that for cN1 breast cancer patients that had neoadjuvant chemotherapy and afterwards had two… Show more
