SLN is the first lymph node in the regional lymph node system receiving lymph outflow from the primary tumor. SLN biopsy with blue dye gradually replaced traditional axillary lymph node dissection as the standard of treatment of early breast cancer. In the recent years, technique of contrast-enhanced sonography with microbubble contrast agents for examination of the lymph system has been studied both in animal and human trials.</p><p>Aim of the review is to investigate the effectiveness of transcutaneous contrast-enhanced sonography of the SLN for biopsy and for diagnosis of metastatic SLNs using methylene blue as the standard in patients with early breast cancer.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Cтадия заболевания и особенно состояние сторожевого лимфатического узла (СЛУ), определяемые у пациенток с раком молочной железы до начала лечения, являются одними из наиболее важных прогностических факторов. СЛУ – первый лимфатический узел в регионарном лимфатическом бассейне, через который происходит отток лимфы от первичной опухоли. Биопсия СЛУ с использованием картирования синим красителем постепенно заменила традиционную аксиллярную лимфодиссекцию в качестве стандарта при лечении раннего рака молочной железы. В последние годы контрастно усиленное ультразвуковое исследование с применением микропузырьковых контрастных препаратов изучают как метод оценки лимфатической системы (как на животных, так и с участием людей).</p><p>Цель обзора – изучение эффективности чрескожного контрастно усиленного ультразвукового исследования СЛУ для проведения биопсии и диагностики метастатических СЛУ с использованием красителя метиленового синего в качестве эталонного стандарта у пациенток с ранним раком молочной железы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>biopsy</kwd><kwd>breast cancer</kwd><kwd>sentinel lymph node</kwd><kwd>Sonovue</kwd><kwd>Sonazoid</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>биопсия</kwd><kwd>рак молочной железы</kwd><kwd>сторожевой лимфатический узел</kwd><kwd>Sonovue</kwd><kwd>Sonazoid</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">The state of cancer care for the population of Russia in 2022.
