It's a standard procedure to get 4 Lymph nodes during Setinal lymph node biopsy
Further treatment of your patient will depend on the surgical histopathology report, thanks

It is  standard procedure to perform Breast Conservation Surgery along with Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection. If the sentinel node is identified, removed, and the frozen section shows no evidence of disease, this is considered standard practice.
