Summary

This study tests a new way to find sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer patients using a fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG). The dye is injected near the tumor and glows under special light, helping surgeons locate the first lymph nodes that cancer might spread to. The goal is to see if this method works as well as the standard radioactive tracer, potentially making the procedure safer and faster. About 40 women with early-stage breast cancer will take part.
