Sentinel lymph node biopsy using methylene blue and a borrowed scintillation tube enabled successful extirpation in breast cancer and melanoma patients. This combined method is feasible for district hospitals.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Context:

  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is crucial for cancer staging.
  • Access to specialized equipment can be a limitation in district hospitals.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of combining methylene blue dye with a borrowed scintillation probe for sentinel lymph node identification.
  • To assess the feasibility of this combined technique in a district hospital setting.

Summary:

  • Two female breast cancer patients and one male malignant melanoma patient underwent successful sentinel lymph node extirpation.
  • The procedure utilized preoperative methylene blue administration and a borrowed scintillation probe.
  • Technical aspects of the biopsy were analyzed, confirming successful identification and removal of the sentinel node.

Impact:

  • Demonstrates a cost-effective and accessible approach to SLNB.
  • Empowers district departments to perform advanced oncological procedures.
  • Potentially improves cancer staging accuracy and patient outcomes in resource-limited settings.
