F.A.Q

What is Sentinel node biopsy?

A sentinel node biopsy is a surgical procedure used to look at a sample of tissue (biopsy) from your lymph nodes to see if an early-stage breast cancer has spread beyond the initial tumor. “Sentinel” means to guard or stand watch, so sentinel lymph nodes are the first ones a cancer is expected to be found in if it has spread (metastasized). Checking these lymph nodes can help your healthcare team identify your breast cancer stage and prescribe a treatment plan.

What is sentinel node biopsy procedure?
