Article Synopsis
- Axillary lymph node status and sentinel lymph node (SLN) diagnosis are crucial for determining post-surgery treatment in breast cancer patients.
- Recent advancements, including a rapid-immunohistochemical staining (R-IHC) method, allow for quick detection of SLN metastases in just 16 minutes during surgery.
- In a study involving 160 SLNs from 108 patients, R-IHC demonstrated high sensitivity (95.2%) and specificity (100%), successfully identifying additional metastatic SLNs that standard methods missed.
