Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy for Breast Cancer and Melanoma

Are you a resident or specialist in General Surgery, Gynecology, or Oncological Surgery looking to strengthen your practical skills in modern lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy?
Join us on September 21–22, 2026, at the Surgical Training Institute in Bucharest for two intensive days of hands-on training in sentinel lymph node biopsy.
🧑‍⚕️Workshop Director: Gerald Filip
Why join?
This hands-on experience takes you beyond theory and into practice. You will explore the complete sentinel lymph node biopsy pathway — from patient selection and tracer injection to lymphatic mapping, sentinel node identification, dissection and excision.
You will have the opportunity to:
✅ Understand the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in the staging and management of breast cancer, melanoma, and selected gynecological and gastrointestinal neoplasms
✅ Learn how to select the appropriate tracer, including ICG, Patent Blue, and radioactive tracers, according to the clinical context
✅ Practice ICG and Patent Blue injection techniques
✅ Gain practical experience in lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node identification
✅ Perform classical and laparoscopic sentinel lymph node dissection and excision on functional tissues
✅ Understand how sentinel lymph node histopathology can influence further oncological treatment decisions
✅ Discuss clinical cases, potential complications, and intraoperative challenges
