Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy at Medwise Hospital
A sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a crucial procedure in the diagnosis and staging of certain cancers, particularly breast cancer and melanoma. The sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node to which cancer cells are likely to spread from the primary tumor. At Medwise Hospital, we perform sentinel lymph node biopsies using the latest techniques to provide accurate staging information, which is essential for guiding treatment decisions.
