- Abstract
The article compares blue dye with combined dye and isotope for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in breast cancer. The two techniques were compared in a randomized trial. The study concludes that combined mapping was superior to blue dye alone in identification of the SLN. However, accuracy and false-negative rates were similar.
