Blue Dye for Identification of Sentinel Nodes in Breast Cancer And Malignant Melanoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: The combined technique (radioisotope and blue dye) is the gold standard for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and there is wide variation in techniques and blue dyes used. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the need for radioisotope and the optimal blue dye for SLNB. A total of 21 studies were included. The SLNB identification rates are high with all the commonly used blue dyes. Furthermore, methylene blue is superior to iso-sulfan blue and Patent Blue V with respect to false-negative… Show more

“…In the SLNB procedure, various methods are routinely used in the evaluation of SLNs and LCs, including blue dye and radioisotopes (Hokimoto et al 2018;Peek et al 2017). Multiple studies have established the validity of blue dye as a marker for SLNs; thus, it is currently the most widely used method during surgery (Peek et al 2017). Nonetheless, it has its own set of disadvantages.…”

“…MB continues to be applied and investigated as treatment for a variety of medical applications in the clinical setting, including methemoglobinemias and ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy ( 170 , 171 ). MB has also been used to identify breast cancer ( 101 ) and neuroendocrine tumors ( 73 ), and is commonly used for SLN mapping ( 38 , 39 ), as well as the identification of urologic tumors ( 51 , 52 ) and tumors in the parathyroid glands ( 130 ).…”
