Using intra-operative GeneSearchTM Breast Lymph Node Assay to detect breast cancer metastases in sentinel lymph nodes: results from a single institute in China
Background Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has become a common procedure for early breast cancer patients. The GeneSearchTM Breast Lymph Node (BLN) Assay is a real-time RT-PCR assay for the detecting nodal metastases larger than 0.2 mm. China Breast Cancer Clinical Study Group (CBCSG)-001a is a pro...

Zusammenfassung: | Background Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has become a common procedure for early breast cancer patients. The GeneSearchTM Breast Lymph Node (BLN) Assay is a real-time RT-PCR assay for the detecting nodal metastases larger than 0.2 mm. China Breast Cancer Clinical Study Group (CBCSG)-001a is a prospective multi-center clinical trial that was conducted to validate the GeneSearchTM BLN Assay in China. |
