Subdermal laterocranial mapping of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer as an alternative to the peritumoral mapping.

PURPOSE: Peritumoral injection of blue dye is standard method of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) biopsy in breast cancer. Applying the marker to different locations will be of great benefit in cases in which the peritumoral mapping is difficult to implement. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that the subdermal laterocranial (SLC) mapping with a dye has similar diagnostic reliability to the peritumoral mapping and is applicable for clinical use. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 254 patients with operable breast cancer (cT
