Axillary lymph node status is the most important prognostic factor in early-stage breast
cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is used to determine the need for axillary node …

Background Recent studies show that not all patients with breast cancer and positive axillary
lymph nodes need additional axillary surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the …

Objective: Systematic evidence synthesis of ultrasound-guided needle biopsy (UNB) of
axillary nodes in breast cancer. Summary Background Data: Women affected by invasive …

To determine ultrasound (US) features that most accurately predict the presence of axillary
lymph node metastasis, we retrospectively analysed the results of preoperative US breast …

Background: This systematic review aimed at comparing performances of ultrasonography
(US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission …

Background The utility of axillary lymph node dissection after sentinel lymph node biopsy
has been called into question. We sought to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and …

Abstract Purpose Axillary lymph nodes (LNs) with cortical thickness> 3 mm have a higher
likelihood of malignancy. To examine the positive predictive value (PPV) of axillary LN …

Abstract Background The ACOSOG Z0011 (Z11) trial demonstrated that in patients with
nonpalpable axillary lymph nodes (LN) and one to two positive sentinel LN (SLN), axillary …

Preoperative staging of the axilla in women with invasive breast cancer using ultrasound-
guided needle biopsy (UNB) identifies approximately 50% of patients with axillary nodal …

Background. With the acceleration of the pace of life and work, the incidence rate of invasive
breast cancer is getting higher and higher, and early diagnosis is very important. This study …
