Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is now a standard therapeutic approach for early-stage breast cancer. Arm lymphatic mapping, according to some researchers, is useful for identifying and preserving the arm lymphatics, and this novel process is referred to as "axillary reverse mapping" (ARM), since the arm lymphatics are being identified for preservation rather than eradication. Objective: To study the feasibility of using sodium diethyl ammonium hydroxide (patent blue) dye to perform an axillary reverse mapping (ARM) procedure in breast cancer women with positive axillary lymph nodes. Patients and methods: This study included (40) patients. All patients were underwent surgery in …
