A systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic performance of fluorescein-guided sentinel lymph node biopsy in early breast cancer

Diagnostic Performance of Fluorescein-Guided Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Early Breast Cancer

Practical Solutions and Value

Traditional methods for evaluating axillary lymph nodes in early breast cancer are resource-intensive.
Fluorescein Sodium (FS)-guided sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) offers a low-cost alternative.
Meta-analysis shows a high Sentinel Lymph Node Identification Rate (SLN-IR) of 93% and a false negative rate of 5.6% for detecting axillary lymph node metastasis.
Fluorescein-guided SLNB is a viable option for detecting lymph node metastases in clinically node-negative patients with early breast cancer.
