- Abstract
An accurate, intraoperative sentinel lymph node (SLN) test could decrease delayed axillary dissections. Molecular tests may be more sensitive than current intraoperative tests but historically have not been rapid enough and have not been properly validated. We present the results from a large, prospective evaluation of the first rapid molecular SLN test, the Breast Lymph Node (BLN) Assay.
