Breast Cancer
Treatment and Research - 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 are also using
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.
