Abstract. A retrospective research of the treatment results of 132 patients with breast cancer was conducted at the Oncology Department (for breast tumors) No. 1 of the Samara Regional Clinical Oncological Dispensary. The study used a device for biopsy of the sentinel lymph node (utility model patent No. 176191 11.01.2018). The developed device significantly improves the biopsy of the sentinel lymph node and makes it more convenient. It allows the surgeon to obtain a tissue sample without damaging the lymph node structure which increases the diagnosis accuracy. The device allows reducing the time of surgery and blood loss.
Key words: breast cancer, sentinel lymph node, device.
