Dr. Alan Henry of Roanoke says sentinel node biopsy could save breast cancer patients a lot of the trauma associated with surgery.
Instead of taking out all of the lymph nodes under the arm, surgeons could pinpoint one problem node--called the sentinel node.
Removal of all underarm nodes has no benefit and sometimes causes scarring, numbness and swelling of the arm.
The sentinel node removal would mean a small incision, faster healing, and less expense.
