Abstract
Lymphoscintigraphy with Technetium antimony sulfur colloid (TASC) was used in four patients with malignant melanoma to identify the pattern of lymphatic drainage, allowing selective lymph node dissection. TASC is safe and predictive of lymph node drainage patterns. Using this technique allows visualization of multiple tiers of lymph nodes in 2 to 6 hours.Keywords
