Reoperative Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Patients With Recurrent Ipsilateral Breast Cancer

NCT06329089 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 97

Last updated 2024-03-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess the effectiveness of sentinel lymph node biopsy as a treatment approach for patients with recurrent breast cancer on the same side as previous surgeries. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the rate of identification of the sentinel lymph node, and how does it vary among patients with different histories of axillary surgeries?
* How can we describe and understand the drainage pathways, including those from the armpit on the same side as the cancer, the area near the breastbone, and the opposite armpit?

Participants will undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy as part of their treatment for recurrent breast cancer. They will also receive standard treatments, including surgery and adjuvant therapies as recommended by their healthcare team.

Conditions

  • Recurrent Breast Cancer

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Reoperative Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

Reoperative sentinel lymph node biopsy refers to a surgical procedure performed when there is a need to re-examine the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients who have previously undergone breast cancer surgery. The sentinel lymph nodes are the first lymph nodes to which cancer cells are likely to spread from the primary tumor. During the procedure, the surgeon locates and removes the previously identified sentinel lymph nodes using techniques such as lymphatic mapping and injection of a radiotracer or dye. The removed lymph nodes are then examined by a pathologist to determine if there is any evidence of cancer spread.
