| Summary: | Introduction: Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND),
although associated with significant morbidity, has been the

many hospitals in Malaysia. The limited resources for
radioisotope tracer and nuclear medicine service, coupled
with insufficient number of trained surgeons, have been the
major obstacles to perform sentinel lymph node biopsy
(SLNB). |
