Clinicopathological factors associated with sentinel lymph node positivity in breast cancer using indocyanine green: a retrospective study in Peru

GLGastón Wilmer Mendoza De LamaNQNancy Elena Muñoz QuispeJCJorge Marcelo Aguilar Cosme

Key Points

  • This study aims to identify clinicopathological factors that predict sentinel lymph node positivity in breast cancer patients.
  • Retrospective analysis of breast cancer cases in Peru
  • Assessment of tumor size, pT stage, and lymphovascular invasion
  • Evaluation of indocyanine green in sentinel lymph node biopsy
  • Tumor size, pT stage, and lymphovascular invasion identified as main predictors of lymph node positivity
  • Indocyanine green found to be safe and effective for guided sentinel lymph node biopsy in the studied cohort

Abstract

Tumor size, pT stage, and lymphovascular invasion were the main predictors of lymph node positivity in this Peruvian cohort. This study constitutes the first Peruvian series evaluating indocyanine green-guided SLNB, providing relevant evidence for its implementation in Latin America and supporting its use as a safe and effective technique for the treatment of breast cancer.
