摘要
Background: Metastases to internal mammary lymph nodes (IMN) may occur in patients with breast cancer and may alter treatment recommendations. The purpose of this study was to identify the frequency of IMN drainage in patients undergoing breast lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND).
