title: [Day surgery of early breast cancer treated with breast-conserving operation following sentinel lymph node navigation biopsy under local anesthesia].
abstract: In the early stages of breast cancer when axillary lymph node dissection is avoidable, we performed same day surgery with a breast-conserving operation following sentinel lymph node navigation biopsy under local anesthesia. Initial sentinel lymph node biopsy under local anesthesia is performed to avoid false-negative sentinel lymph node metastasis. Resected sentinel lymph nodes were examined in fixed sections by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry. The enrolled subjects were 20 patients with breast cancer whose diagnoses were confirmed before treatment. Two (10.0%) patients had metastasis.
