Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of hemosiderin compared to Technetium-99 for identifying sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer patients.
- 14 women with breast cancer underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy, using hemosiderin from their own blood for marking, alongside Technetium-99 injections prior to surgery.
- Results indicated that hemosiderin had no adverse reactions and showed a 100% identification rate for sentinel lymph nodes, matching the effectiveness of Technetium-99.
- The conclusion suggested that hemosiderin is a safe and equivalent alternative to Technetium-99 in this medical procedure.
