Introduction: Successful axillary reverse mapping (ARM) during lymph node surgery for breast cancer has the potential to reduce risk of lymphedema. Standard of care uses blue dye for ARM; however, recent imaging advances with near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence has demonstrated potential to improve intraoperative ARM imaging. The objective was to determine the feasibility of using ICG fluorescence through the OnLume Avata System for ARM.

Background: Radical surgery is the best treatment for axillary osmidrosis to eliminate the apocrine glands. However, marked postoperative hyperpigmentation may occur. Clinicians need an objective skin pigmentation examination to identify and treat hyperpigmentation.

Purpose: To validate the Axillary Reverse Mapping (ARM) technique with indocyanine green (ICG), focusing on the detection rate and the procedure's feasibility. The predictive factors for metastatic involvement of ARM nodes are also analyzed to define the target population for ARM indication.
Methods: This prospective, observational, non-randomized study of patients with breast cancer included patients with an indication for axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) performed between June 2021 and June 2023.

"Pseudo-endocrine disorders" refer to proposed conditions that have never been scientifically proven to exist but, due to widespread misinformation available on the internet and other media, are relatively commonly diagnosed and treated with equally unproven and sometimes dangerous treatments. Adrenal fatigue is a nonexistent condition that supposedly results from adrenal exhaustion and atrophy due to chronic stress and has been promoted as a potential explanation for a variety of symptoms. Testing consists of nonvalidated online surveys and salivary cortisol profiles while treatment is not evidence-based at best and can be dangerous.

Material and this prospective study included 57 patients with breast cancer who underwent SLNB and ARM. The sentinel lymph node (SLN) was identified using a radioactive tracer.
