Value of Nodal Drainage Patterns and Tumor Location from Lymphoscintigraphic Mapping in Detecting Axillary Sentinel Lymph Node Status in Breast Cancer: Experience at Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is an alternative to axillary node dissection for staging breast cancer treatment. In this article, we investigated nodal drainage patterns and tumor location using lymphoscintigraphy to predict the axillary sentinel lymph node status. We enrolled 88 patients with cl...
