Frozen Section Examination of Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Izmir City Hospital
Summary
This prospective randomized clinical study evaluates the role of intraoperative frozen section examination of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. The study aims to determine whether frozen section assessment during surgery improves intraoperative decision-making and affects surgical management when compared with standard final pathological evaluation performed after surgery.
