Robotic vs. endoscopic: which biopsy method is more accurate for breast cancer?

This study looks back at medical records of 150 women with breast cancer to compare two minimally invasive ways of checking whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes under the arm: robotic-assisted and endoscopic-assisted sentinel lymph node biopsy. The goal is to see which method finds the sentinel node more accurately, has fewer false negatives, and is safer in terms of complications, pain, arm function, and quality of life. It also tracks long-term outcomes like cancer recurrence and survival. The findings could help guide which technique is better for staging breast cancer.
