## 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
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The sensitivity of the intraoperative diagnosis of sentinel lymph node (SLN) micrometastases and the metastases of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is low. The goal of the current study was to assess whether the use of intraoperative, rapid immunohistochistochemistry (IHC
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Sentinel node (SN) biopsy is a new standard of care for axillary node staging in patients with earlyβstage, clinically nodeβnegative breast cancer. A second operation can be avoided when the results are available intraoperatively. However, there is no stand
## BACKGROUND. Routine histologic examination of axillary sentinel lymph nodes predicts axillary lymph node status and may spare patients with breast carcinoma axillary lymph node dissection. To avoid the need for two separate surgical sessions, the results of sentinel lymph node examination shoul
