Abstract P2-12-02: Axillary reverse mapping: A feasibility study
ConclusionThe identification rate of ARM lymphatics and nodes is low when only blue dye is used. The method appears it to be oncologically safe in patients with low tumour burden. However there is need for further studies will before this procedure can be universally applied without compromising the oncologic safety.Once the technique is proven to be oncologically safe even in a selected group of patients, a large randomized trial will be needed to give a satisfactory answer whether the problem of lymphedema be eliminated or minimized in the patients in whom arm lymphatics are successfully preserved.Citation Format: Khare ...
