Technetium (99mTc) tilmanocept is a radiopharmaceutical agent used for lymphatic mapping and the identification of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer, melanoma, and head and neck cancers. It binds to mannose receptors (CD206) present on macrophages within lymph nodes, enabling detection using gamma cameras. It is approved for clinical use as a diagnostic agent.
