The widely practiced intra-operative methods for rapid evaluation and detection of sentinel
lymph node (SLN) status include frozen section (FS) and touch imprint cytology (TIC). This …

Lymph nodes are encapsulated bean shaped structures, which function in mechanical
filtration of lymph, along with recognition and processing of antigens. Pathology of the lymph …

Objective The volume of radiotracer to be injected for sentinel node mapping is a
controversial issue in breast cancer patients. In the current study, we evaluated the effect of …
