Sentinel lymph nodes biopsy for malignant tumors using Technefit radioactive colloid Technetium 99mTc by Irina Onofriychuk, Aziz Zikiryahodzhaev, Anatoliy Ermakov, Nataliya Ablitsova, Eric Saribekyan, Elena Rasskazova, Gadgimurad Zapirov, Stanislav Mikhailov, Andrey Kaprin, Anna Sukhotko, Serghei Covantsev

“…Conclusion: We determined the most efficient dosages of activities, volume, and characteristics of radioactive colloid administration aimed at the examination and biopsy of sentinel lymph nodes using the radiopharmaceutical preparation Technefit 99mTc in patients with malignant tumors of different localizations, namely breast cancer and skin melanoma. In some cases, we did not find any signs of considerable lowering of the Technefit 99mTc activity, which shows that there is a very slow filtration of Technefit 99mTc through the pores of lymph capillaries.…”
