From: The use of isotope injections in sentinel node biopsy for breast cancer: are the 1- and 2-day protocols equally effective?

Fig. 1

Percentage of patients with different numbers of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) removed at sentinel lymph node biopsy, separated into 1-day (grey, n = 270) and 2-day (black, n = 192 protocols). The median (range) number of SLNs removed per patient was 2 (0–6) in the 1-day protocol and 1 (0–11) for the 2-day protocol (p = 0.08). There was a trend for a higher percentage of patients having two or more SNs removed with the 1-day protocol (55 %) compared with the 2-day protocol (46 %) (p = 0.06). Bar chart is shown as percentage of patients, with absolute numbers given above individual bars
