Official Title: Does Using Ultrasound Guidance During Axillary Incision Improve Sentinel Lymph Node Detection Compared to Standard Methods in Breast Cancer Patients?

Brief Summary: This single-center randomized controlled trial evaluates whether detecting the first lymph node at the axillary entrance with ultrasound guidance, followed by a targeted axillary incision over the pencil-marked projection, improves sentinel lymph node identification compared to the conventional axillary hairline landmark. The study hypothesizes that this technique enables a smaller incision, minimizes tissue dissection, and reduces operative time.
