Breast Cancer
Standard Treatments
In
the past, doctors would remove a lot of lymph nodes near breast
tumors to see if the cancer had spread. Some doctors also use a
method called sentinel node biopsy. Using a dye or radioactive
tracer, surgeons locate the first or sentinel lymph node closest to
the tumor, and remove only that node to see if the cancer has
spread.
