- What it's testing
- In the case of a patient undergoing total mastectomy for intraductal carcinoma (DCIS), the sentinel lymph node is not excised during the primary surgery but only marked for identification. If the final histological examination confirms invasive cancer, delayed surgery is performed to remove the sentinel lymph node that was marked during the initial surgery.
