Intraoperative Injection of Technetium-99m Sulfur Colloid for Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Breast Cancer Patients: A Single Institution Experience
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

Anaphylaxis and other adverse reactions to blue dyes: a case series
A combination of radioactive technetium-99m sulfur colloid (Tc-99m SC) plus isosulfan blue dye is used to increase the sensitivity of SLN mapping and biopsy However, a recent article recommended the use of only Tc-99m SC in pregnant women because of the risk of allergic reactions (up to 2%) and life-threatening anaphylaxis (0.7%-1.1%) associated with the blue dye (Cancer 2003;97:2130-3).
