Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is crucial for early-stage cancer staging. This guide offers a structured program to overcome challenges and improve SLNB implementation in developing countries, enhancing patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard for nodal staging in early-stage breast cancer and melanoma.
  • SLNB accurately stages disease, guides prognosis, and reduces patient morbidity.
  • Despite proven benefits, SLNB is underutilized in many developing nations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze challenges faced by developing countries in establishing SLNB programs.
  • To recommend an evidence-based, adaptable SLNB program for resource-limited settings.

Main Methods:

  • Convened multidisciplinary expert panels.
  • Analyzed implementation difficulties in developing countries.
  • Developed a comprehensive program including technical and training aspects.
