Combined use of radioactive colloid and blue dye injection is considered as gold standard for axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in breast cancer with 97% accuracy rate,8-10 but this combine usage does not attain an adequately higher detection rate to defend the cost.11 While some researchers have been using blue dye only for identification of SLN with good reliability.12 The positive results found by using methylene blue dye and by isosulfan blue dye were 99% and 97% respectively.13,14 While another similar study for methylene blue dye was done showing the sensitivity and specificity of 85.7% and 71.4% respectively.15
