It is the objective of the current study to test Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN) as an agent for mapping arm draining lymphatics and nodes and compare it to isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE) in the setting of sentinel node procedures with or without axillary node dissections in women with breast cancer. All participants will also have tumor samples evaluated with 99technetium-sulfur colloid, a radiolabel used to identify tumor markers.
