The Impact of Lymphoscintigraphy Visualization on the Prognosis of Early Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Sentinel Node Biopsy: A 20‐year, Single‐center Experience
Lymphoscintigraphy visualization status was not significantly associated with OS and RFS in patients with early breast cancer undergoing SLNB. This suggests that nonvisualization does not indicate a greater tumor burden or poorer prognosis. Clinically, this reassures that treatment strategies do not need to be adjusted solely based on nonvisualization in lymphoscintigraphy.
