Featured Study
Use of SCOUT Reflectors to Identify the Previously Biopsied Node Significantly Improves the Probability of Surgical Removal and Subsequently Reduces the False Negative Cancer Rate
SURGICAL GOALS
- Removal of PBN and low false-negative rate.
PATIENTS STUDIED
- Standard SLNB (n=19): Conventional sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) using technetium-99 radiotracer and isosulfan blue dye
- SCOUT SLNB (n=19): SLNB + Reflector-guided PBN removal with Reflector placed into biopsied/clipped node
- Reflectors placed, on average, 2 days prior to surgery
KEY RESULTS
- Only 47.4% (9 of 19) biopsied nodes were removed with conventional SLNB
- False negative rate = 33.3%
- All (19/19) biopsied nodes were identified and removed with SCOUT
- False negative rate = 0% (optimal goal)
