Abstract Clinical updates suggest conserving metastatic sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) of breast cancer (BC) patients during surgery; however, the immunoadjuvant potential of this strategy is unknown.Here we leverage an immune-fueling flex-patch to animate joico lumishine 10n metastatic SLNs with personalized antitumor immunity.The flex-patch is impla
