Gamma probe and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology of the sentinel node (GULF) trial
ConclusionFNAC with gamma probe and US guidance is not able to correctly detect metastases in the SN and is therefore not able to replace SLNB. Gamma probe-guided US is a highly accurate method for correctly identifying the SN, which offers possibilities for future research.
