Objective:
To analyze the effectiveness of identifying the sentinel lymph node in breast cancer using the «MARS» system for fluorescent diagnostics in near infrared light.
Material And Methods:
There were 51 patients with breast cancer cT0-2N0M0 between July 2023 and October 2023. Mean age of patients was 52.3 years. Invasive ductal carcinoma was diagnosed in 39 (76.5%) patients, invasive lobular carcinoma - in 8 (15.7%) patients, other forms of breast cancer - in 4 (7.8%) patients.
Results:
Sentinel lymph node was successfully identified in all cases (n=51). A total of 122 sentinel lymph nodes were detected and mapped (2.4 nodes per a patient).
Conclusion:
The MARS system for intraoperative fluorescence diagnostics in near-infrared light is effective for identifying the sentinel lymph node in breast cancer.
