Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The scope of this trial is to assess the Sentinel Lymph Node Technique in Multifocal Breast Cancer

The sentinel lymph node is located preferentially by:

• association of subareolar injection of technecium and blue dye

• or, in case of blue dye allergy, by the subareolar injection of technecium only

• or, in case of no possibility of radioactive isotope subareolar injection , by blue dye injection only This procedures are made the day before the surgery or the day of the surgery

• This procedure is immediately follows by complete axillary dissection during breast surgery
