Abstract
Sentinel node biopsy is an effective procedure in breast cancer stadiation. This technique consists in injection of a radioactive agent and a dying substance in the peritumoral zone. The radioactive agent ad the dyer will drain to the first nodes of the regional lymphatic basin, called sentinel node. After its detection with the use of a gamma probe nodes are harvested and histologically examined. The aim of this technique is to evaluate the extension of the disease and to avoid the patient, in the case of negative sentinel node biopsy, axillary nodes dissection, with its complications. © 2007 by new Magazine edizioni s.r.l.
