There is now a new way to avoid SLNB for high-risk DCIS patients

There is now a new way to avoid SLNB for high-risk DCIS patients

Every year, hundreds of thousands of women across the world are diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS).

The standard treatment for high-risk patients is to remove the DCIS, and at the same time perform a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).

But could less treatment be better for both patients and clinicians?

Pioneering clinical studies now show that it is possible for many high-risk DCIS patients to avoid a SLNB altogether.

The way forward involves the Magtrace® lymphatic tracer and a new technique called delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy (dSLNB), which allows you to hold off on performing axillary surgery until you know you need to.

Magtrace® is injected into the breast prior to surgery to mark the sentinel lymph nodes. It has been designed to remain in the nodes for many weeks (unlike other tracers).

The patient will then undergo a mastectomy, with the DCIS sent for pathological analysis. SLNB is not performed at this stage.

If the DCIS is proven to be non-invasive, no further axillary surgery is required. Nodes are saved.

If the DCIS is invasive, the lymph nodes have remained marked and can be operated on in due course.

Meet Jeri, a former breast cancer survivor and patient advocate who had the opportunity to avoid a SLNB.

"There was minimal discomfort. It was basically pain-free. I believe that this will be a gamechanger for surgical treatment in breast cancer."

Meet Holly, her concerns about how axillary surgery could affect her lifestyle led her to consider all options available.

"I hope other patients ask about it [Delayed SLNB] because it really is such a simple solution, and has been life-changing for me."

"Now with Magtrace, we can really do a delayed sentinel node procedure only for those who need it, and the rest of the patients can avoid the morbidity of that procedure when it's really not necessary..."

"...when I tell patients that they're going to get Magtrace, I tell them what the alternative would be, and why we're using one versus the other. And I think that they are very appreciative."

"...if the result of the mastectomy comes back as [non-invasive] DCIS, we don't do anything else. So we avoid doing that sentinel lymph node biopsy in all those cases."

"...if we can eliminate that risk [of lymphedema] altogether for 80% of patients that have high risk DCIS, I think that's quite significant."
