Thirty-two patients with clinical node-negative breast cancer underwent sentinel node localization study as part of a National Cancer Institute-sponsored multicenter trial. Anatomical and histopathologic characteristics of sentinel lymph node (SLN) and a kinetic analysis of nodal uptake were studied. Patients were injected with 1 mCi/4 ml unfiltered 99mTc-sulfur colloid in four divided doses around the palpable lesion or immediately adjacent to the excision cavity if prior biopsy was performed. SLN biopsy was performed 1.5-6 hr (mean = 3 hr) postinjection. Intraoperative localization was performed using a gamma probe. All patients underwent complete axillary dissection.
