Treatment overview

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a minimally invasive surgical staging procedure used to determine whether cancer has spread from a primary tumour into nearby lymph nodes. Instead of removing large numbers of lymph nodes — the older approach — the surgeon identifies and removes only the one or two nodes that receive drainage directly from the tumour site (the sentinel nodes) and sends them to a pathologist for examination. If these nodes are clear of cancer, the remaining nodes are very likely clear too, and no further lymph node surgery is needed. SLNB is most commonly performed for breast cancer and melanoma, and is increasingly used for gynaecologic and head and neck cancers. It is typically done under general anaesthesia and takes 30 to 60 minutes when performed alone, though it is often combined with the main cancer operation. Recovery is rapid, with most patients going home the same day or after a short overnight stay.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500

Typical tests for this treatment: CBC (complete blood count), LFT (liver function tests), KFT (kidney function tests), PT/INR (coagulation profile), Blood group and type, Ultrasound of draining lymph node basin, ECG, Anaesthesia fitness assessment. Done in India before hospital admission. Cost varies with case complexity.

Treatment / Procedure estimate

Estimated cost in India: $2,500 – $4,000

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days

Hospitalisation: ~2 days

Recovery period (outside hospital): ~6 days recommended

Total stay: approx 11 days
