Sentinel node mapping and biopsy procedures are available for breast cancer patients from Kissimmee, Florida at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. During this surgery, which is usually performed along with a mastectomy, surgeons will inject a radioactive blue dye that will identify sentinel nodes to remove for additional testing. As the sample is processed in our on-site pathology lab, our team will be able to determine if a patient’s cancer has spread beyond a primary tumor. This procedure is an improvement upon invasive axillary dissections, which include a greater risk of side effects. Due in part to innovative techniques like this biopsy, Moffitt has helped improve the lives of thousands of patients.

At Moffitt, we offer every type of diagnostic, preventative and treatment-oriented cancer surgery available, including breast cancer surgeries, and all are performed by our highly skilled, fellowship-trained surgeons. In addition to our talented surgeons and the advanced techniques we use, there are a number of other reasons why Moffitt stands out as an exceptional cancer center for those from Kissimmee, FL and beyond, including:
