. Australia: Australian Safety and Efficacy Register of New Interventional Procedures -Surgical (ASERNIP-S). Technology Brief. 2014 Authors' objectives The current standard-of-care approach for sentinel lymph node (SLN) localisation and biopsy has significant
technical and geographical limitations. It may be possible to overcome these through the use of magnetic technologies such as a hand-held magnetometer and an injectable superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) tracer. Authors' conclusions Based on the scant but growing body of evidence for this technology, and its potentially significant potential impact on the investigation of SLN localisation in patients with breast cancer, it is recommended that this technology be monitored for a period of 24 months.
