Objective:
Breast cancer subtypes are used as prognostic and predictive factors considering the genomic profile of the disease. This study is designed to investigate the Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) detection rate in breast cancer for different biological characteristics.
Material And Methods:
Patients on whom we performed the methylene blue method alone were named as Group I, radiocolloid substance method alone as Group II and both methylene blue and radiocolloid method as Group III. The results of biological tumor characteristics and characteristics of the patients on different SLN biopsy techniques were investigated.
Results:
The overall SLN detecting success rate was 83.3%. When considered for each group, success rate was 80% for group I, 84.9% for group II and 90.6% for group III. While a success rate of 94.6% was achieved with radiocolloid only in the patients in Luminal A and B subgroup, 90% success rate was achieved in Her2 (+) and triple negative (TN) patients with combined method.
Conclusion:
While successful results could be achieved by using radiocolloid substances alone in patients with Luminal A and B subtypes, combined methods should be used in HER2 (+) and TN patients.

01:23Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

Adrenaline ≥ Noradrenaline >> Isoprenaline
α-adrenoceptors are further divided into α1 and α2-adrenoceptors.
α1-Adrenoceptors: These receptors are located postsynaptically on the effector organs and cause constriction of smooth muscle mediated by activation of phospholipase...

Isoprenaline > Adrenaline > Noradrenaline
Neurotransmitter binding to these receptors causes activation of adenylyl cyclase resulting in increased concentrations of cAMP and modulation of calcium ion channels within the cell. They are further classified into β1, β2, and β3 subtypes.
