Feasibility and Effectiveness of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Sponsor: Case Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
This study is for participants with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is possible to take a sample of underarm lymph nodes for participants with IBC. The participants will undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in addition to full axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) during the planned breast cancer surgery. Participants enrolled in the study will first be injected with tracer, then undergo SLNB, and then undergo full ALND.
