The methods of the biopsy the sentinel’s lymph nodes on breast cancer in Russia

Abstract

Biopsy of the sentinel’s lymph nodes is a standard procedure for patients having breast cancer with clinically nonaffected lymph nodes. Radioisotope research method with marked colloid has become classic since 1990s. However, this method has some drawbacks, which can be removed with the appearance of fluorescent lymphography using indocyanine green. In this survey there is a contemporary approach to making biopsies of the sentinel’s lymph nodes of the patients having breast cancer applied in Russia.
