This handbook is a review of radioguided surgical procedures, including sentinel node mapping and biopsy described by experts in the field. It is a practical guide for the practicing surgeon and other clinicians who will provide the majority of clinical care for breast cancer and other diseases and who therefore must be able to safely and effectively perform these procedures for their patients.
