IMSLNB-CANPInternal Mammary Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Impact on Treatment Plan in Clinically Axillary Node-Positive Breast Cancer Patients
This study aims to evaluate how Internal Mammary Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (IM-SLNB) impacts the treatment plan for breast cancer patients who are clinically axillary node-positive, by observing changes in lymph node staging.

Summary
Study start date: February 1, 2014
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.OBJECTIVES: Determine the impact of routinely performed internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy on the systemic and locoregional treatments plan. Evaluate the metastasis rate of internal mammary sentinel lymph nodes in patients with clinically axillary node-positive. Draw the learning curve of internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy. OUTLINE: 3~18 hours before surgery, under ultrasonographic guidance, 0.5~1.0 mCi 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid in sterile saline (total volume 0.2~2.0 mL) is injected intraparenchymally into 2 quadrants of breast. Subsequently, lymphoscintigraphy is performed 0.5~1.0 hour before surgery. internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy is performed during the surgery and the internal mammary sentinel lymph nodes were sent to histologic examination.
