Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors that caused non-
sentinel lymph nodes (nonSLNs) metastasis by considering the clinicopathological …

Objective The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between non
sentinel lymph node metastasis (NSLNM) and clinicopathological factors, particularly in the …

Background In breast cancer, recent clinical trials have shown that sentinel lymph node
biopsy (SLNB) alone without axillary lymph node dissection results in excellent prognosis if …

Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of avoiding axillary
lymph node dissection (ALND) for patients with only one sentinel lymph node (SLN) …

Objective For patients with 1–2 positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) identified by biopsy, the
necessity of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) remains a matter of debate. The primary …

Background We have developed a new nomogram to predict the probability of a patient with
1–2 metastatic sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) to present further axillary disease. Methods …

Aim: The standard-of-care in breast cancer (BC) with positive sentinel lymph node (SLN)
metastasis includes complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND); however, almost half …

Background Historically, completion axillary lymph node dissection (cALND) is
recommended in sentinel lymph node (SLN)-positive patients. However, the high rate of …

We aimed to determine how to approach the axilla after finding a positive sentinel node (SN)
for a woman with breast cancer in Taiwan. We used blue dye staining to identify the SN in …

Purpose: To evaluate the predicting factors for non-sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases in
T1-2 invasive breast cancer with 1-2 metastatic SLN that fully matched the ACOSOG Z0011 …
