Abstract
The aim of the study has been to investigate the possibilities of conducting and evaluating the performance of diagnostic statistical methods of ICG fluorescence for sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The study included 223 patients diagnosed with cT1-3N0M0 , occurring in the period from 2022 to 2023. Surgical treatment for the mammary gland with sentinel lymph node biopsy using the ICG fluorescence method. As a result of the study, metastases in the lymph nodes were detected in 44 (19.73%) cases out of 223. It has been established that the use of the method of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer using ICG fluorescence of the gland allows for large-scale surgical treatment of the initial form of mammary gland cancer.
