🎗️ Understanding Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Breast Cancer Surgery 🎗️
A sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a crucial procedure to determine whether breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. It is less invasive and can reduce the risk of complications like lymphedema, providing essential staging information for further treatment. 🩺
🌟 Benefits of SLNB:
Minimal invasiveness compared to traditional lymph node dissection.
Reduced risk of complications like swelling.
Helps guide the treatment plan based on cancer's spread.
If the sentinel node is cancer-free, further node removal may not be necessary! 💪
