Diagnostic Study of Patent Blue V Dye to Identify Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Patients With Stage I or IIA Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether the concept of a sentinel lymph node within the axillary
nodal basin is valid in staging breast cancer. II. Determine the sensitivity of combined
methods of identification of sentinel lymph nodes by patent blue V dye and gamma probe
detection in these women.

OUTLINE: Patients receive patent blue V dye injection peritumorally prior to surgery.
Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy is performed using technetium Tc 99 sulfur rhenium colloid
injected around the tumor associated with intraoperative gamma probe detection. Nonpalpable
tumors receive a localized injection using stereotactic injection techniques. Patients then
undergo standard axillary (level I and II) lymph node dissection.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 200 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
