Key messages:
  • 100% target lymph node identification achieved at surgery using Pintuition® after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
  • Reliable surgical marker navigation when the target node is not the sentinel node, observed in 30% of cases (44% with residual disease)
  • Safe and feasible technique, with no complications related to marker placement or navigation reported
  • Wire‑free, non‑radioactive workflow, enabling flexible scheduling and eliminating same‑day wire localization
