“…Four studies performed SN mapping using radiocolloid alone [ 27 , 31 , 32 , 37 ], three studies used blue dye alone [ 28 , 29 , 40 ], and 6 studies used both radiocolloid and blue dye [ 25 , 26 , 33 – 35 , 38 ]. Regarding histological technique, 6 studies used hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining alone [ 27 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 37 , 40 ], 3 studies performed additional IHC staining for negative nodes based on H&E staining results [ 25 , 31 , 33 ], and 3 studies used IHC staining in all cases [ 29 , 34 , 38 ].
