Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a safe and accurate first line technique for staging the axilla in patients who have normal axillary lymph nodes on pre operative ultrasonography, with or without fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).Until now sentinel lymph nodes could only be identified at operation following injection of radioactive isotope and blue dye.Experimental studies in porcine and other models, using microbubble enhanced ultrasound,have shown it is possible to identify the sentinel lymph node preoperatively.This study was initiated to investigate the possibility that microbubbles injected into the breast would enable preoperative outpatient sentinel 1ymphnode identification in patients with confirmed breast cancer.
