ALMANAC

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 3 min
This article is about the clinical trial. For other uses, see Almanac (disambiguation).

ALMANAC is a major breast cancer trial. The acronym stands for "Axillary Lymphatic Mapping Against Nodal Axillary Clearance." This major randomized trial performed in several centres in the UK produced clear evidence that sentinel node biopsy (SNB), used to stage axillary spread of disease, can be used with low failed localization and false negative rates, provided both radioisotope and blue dye are used to locate the sentinel nodes.[1]
