Allina research sets the standard for breast care
Researchers at Piper Breast Center conducted a long-term study with 500 patients who had a sentinel lymph node biopsy. The study showed that the technique could be done accurately and save lives. Long-term follow up showed exceptional survival rates.
Today, sentinel lymph node biopsy is the preferred method for staging breast cancer and determining if cancer has spread into the lymph nodes.
Meet Lavaan, who benefited from this research.
