Title: Analysis of influencing factor from sentinel lymph node biopsy in the patients with breast cancer
Abstract: [objective] To study the influencing factor by stained technique of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for breast cancer. [Methods] Eighty three female breast cancer patients were injected with vital blue to find the sentinel lymph nodes during operation. All patients were treated by the radical axillary lymph nodes dissection (ALND). This kind of two dissected specimens was submitted to pathological examination. The influence to sentinel lymph node biopsy′s finding out rate,accuracy rate,sensitivity and the false negative rate by comparing with the factors which are the age of patient,the size and position of the tumors,the biopsy before or during operation,and the intumescences of SLN et al. [Results] The finding out rate,accuracy rate,sensitivity and the false negative rate was respectively 91.56%(76/83),94.73%(72/76),84.61%(22/26) and 15.38%(4/26) in the group of eighty three patients. It was disposed by statistics and revealed that there is no obvious correlation about the age of the patient,the position of the tumors and weather having chemistry treatment before operation to the SLN′s finding out rate (P 0.05),but there is obvious influence through the size of tumors(5 cm),the biopsy before or during operation,the fettle of tumors to the SLN′s finding out rate (P 0.05). The intumescences of SLN has obvious influence to SLNB′s accuracy rate (P 0.05); and all kinds of factors have no influence to SLNB′s false negative rate. [Conclusion] Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) could be accurately predicted the axillary node status for breast cancer; the vital blue technique could be successfully identified sentinel lymph node (SLN).
