The newly developed radioisotope-free technique based on magnetic nanoparticle
detection using a magnetic probe is a promising method for sentinel lymph node biopsy. In …

Sentinel lymph node biopsy has become a staple tool in the diagnosis of breast cancer. By
replacing the morbidity-plagued axillary node clearance with removing only those nodes …

Introduction Breast cancer staging with sentinel lymph node biopsy relies on the use of
radioisotopes, which limits the availability of the procedure worldwide. The use of a …

The standard for the treatment of early non-palpable breast cancers is wide local excision
directed by wire-guided localization and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). This has …

Background We suspected that moving a small neodymium magnet would promote
migration of the magnetic tracer to the sentinel lymph node (SLN). Higher monitoring counts …

Background The standard for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), the dual technique
(radiolabelled tracer and blue dye), has several drawbacks. A novel magnetic technique …

Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a standard staging procedure for early axillary
lymph node‐negative breast cancer. As an alternative to the currently used radioactive …

Background Some hospitals lack facilities for radioisotopes in sentinel node biopsy. A novel
method is used with a superparamagnetic tracer and a magnetometer instead of a …

Abstract Background The SentiMAG Multicentre Trial evaluated a new magnetic technique
for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) against the standard (radioisotope and blue dye or …

Using magnetic tunnelling junction sensors, a novel magnetometer probe for the
identification of the sentinel lymph node using magnetic tracers was developed. Probe …
