Summary
This study evaluates a new method of testing the lymph nodes in the armpit of patients with
breast cancer for tumor involvement. All participants involved in this study will undergo an
injection of a small amount of iron dissolved in liquid followed by an ultrasound of the
axilla that will make previously invisible lymph nodes visible, allowing them to be sampled
in an outpatient setting.
