Intra-operative detection of sentinel lymph node metastases in breast cancer patients enables an
immediate decision to proceed to axillary lymph node dissection, where indicated. This spares patients
a second anaesthetic and operative procedure, is technically easier, and allows earlier commencement
of adjuvant therapy. osna distinguishes between micrometastatic and macrometastatic tumour burden
in the lymph node and allows the surgeon to take a differential decision during surgery. Omission of
post-operative analysis leads to faster and final therapeutic measures, reduces the time need and workload of the pathology laboratory and decreases psychological stress for the patients.
