## Abstract ## Background Intraoperative diagnosis of sentinel node metastases enables an immediate decision to proceed to axillary lymph node dissection, avoiding a second operation in node-positive women with breast cancer. ## Methods An optical scanner was developed that interrogated the cut
The identification of specific tumor mRNA markers by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction might be a valuable diagnostic adjunct for the detection of breast cancer metastases in axillary sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). In this study we have compared the diagnostic accuracy of an extensive hi
