Hi-
I didn't realize there was a question in the comments section - sorry for keeping you waiting for an answer.
No, the NSABP B32 examined the sentinel
lymph node using standard technique
(immunohistochemistry) - I don't think
the Veridex assay was available when
the trial was designed.

Thank you for your view on SNB
Not sure if the "assay" procedure was used in the NSABP B-32 Clinical trial?
