Sentinel Node Mapping for Cancer Detection

The provider injects a contrast, or radioactive tracer into the target tissues and massages the tissue to move the dye into the lymphatic system. The provider performs this procedure to identify the sentinel node, and locate any traces of tumor draining into the node. This service is most often done for melanoma or breast cancer.
