Sentinel lymph node focus of radiotracer study in healthy women's breasts.
2003 APR 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Studies of breast lymphatic pathways have been conducted mostly in women with breast cancer. A new radiotracer study looked at lymphatic drainage in the upper medial quadrant of the breast in healthy women.
A. Tassenoy and colleagues, Free University Brussels, Belgium, noted that since breast cancers occur commonly in the upper lateral quadrant of the breast, "the lymphatic drainage pathways of the medial half of the breast ... have been less studied."
Study subjects were 12 healthy women. Tc-99m human serum albumin nanocolloid or HSA, a radiotracer, "was injected intradermally into the upper medial quadrant" of the women's right breast. Marks were made on the skin "at the middle of the clavicle, the axilla, and at the jugular incisura."
According to the researchers' report, "Three minutes after injection a static image of the injection site was made with a scintillation camera (Multispect 2 Gamma Camera System) over 20 seconds. After 9 minutes, local soft massage was instituted at the injection site for 6 minutes. Fifteen minutes after injection, a graphic scintigraphic image was made of both breasts and axillae over 22 minutes. After this interval, three or four static images were made for a few seconds to locate the ...
