OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the possibility of using the method of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) detection with indocyanine green (ICG) in patients with early breast cancer and its informativeness.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A «Determination of sentinel lymph nodes by fluorescence method intraoperatively with the use of indocyanine green» study, in which 168 patients are currently included, is being conducted in the clinic of the N.N. Petrov NMRC of Oncology from 2017 through the present. All patients who underwent biopsy of sentinel lymph nodes (BSLN) were primary with a T1-2N0M0 stage of process.

RESULTS

The average number of axillary lymph nodes removed in BSLN was 3 (1—5). Accumulation of ICG was found in 147 (88%) patients, accumulation of labeled radiocolloid — in 137 (82%), in combination of ICG/radiocolloid — in 167 (99%) based on the results of imaging.

CONCLUSION

The obtained results prove that the informativeness and relative simplicity of this method use allow its application in any hospital where breast cancer is surgically treated, as well as in the absence of radioisotopic equipment.
