This cohort study found that use of low-cost dual dyes in patients with positive axillary disease, rendered cN0 with NACT, with 2 or more negative SLNs with SLNB alone, results in an FNR of 11.4%. Her 2 positive and TNBC with 2 or more negative SLNs are associated with an FNR of <10%. However, the number of such patients was small and further studies with larger sample size are warranted to confirm these findings.
