Abstract: Objective To perform the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in the patients with early breast cancer by the strict screening conditions and to analyze the accuracy of the sentinel lymph node for predicting the axillary lymph node status .Methods SLNB combined with methylene blue dye and isotope was performed in 266 cases of early breast cancer treated in this department with full treatment courses .Then the axillary lymph node dissection(ALND) was routinely conducted .With the pathological ex-amination as the standard ,the related factors affecting SLNB were analyzed .Results The detection rate of SLN ,accuracy rate ,sen-sitivity and the false negative rate were 100% ,98 .5% ,95 .56% and 4 .44% respectively ;the accuracy of SLN was significantly cor-related with the tumor size ,pathological type and axillary lymph node status(P<0 .01);the false negative rate of SLN was related with the tumor location(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The combination of methylene blue dye and isotope used in SLNB is feasible in the patients with early breast cancer ,SLN could accurately predict the axillary lymph node metastasis status .
