Article Synopsis
- The sentinel lymph node biopsy technique (SLNBT) is crucial for determining the axillary stage of breast cancer and helps avoid unnecessary surgeries.
- SLNBT was successfully implemented at the Centre Hospitalari de Manresa with support from the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital, starting in 1999 and expanding to all ALTHAIA hospitals by 2002.
- The procedure had a high technical success rate of 97.55%, with a significant number of patients avoiding more invasive axillary dissection, demonstrating its effectiveness even in hospitals without nuclear medicine services.
