Diagnostic Significance of Preoperative Axillary Staging in Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND: The axillary lymph node status is one of the most relevant prognostic factors in breast cancer. The noninvasive investigation of axillary lymph node involvement in the preoperative diagnosis is one of the greatest challenges in the treatment of breast cancer. The aim of our study is to assess the significance of preoperative axillary diagnostics. It will be verified whether the axil...
متن کاملEvolution of axillary nodal staging in breast cancer: clinical implications of the ACOSOG Z0011 trial.
BACKGROUND Management of the axilla in breast cancer patients has evolved from routine axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) for all patients to a highly selective approach based on the assessment of the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) as well as tumor and patient characteristics. Although ALND continues to have an important role in staging and regional control for many breast cancer patients, rece...
متن کاملAccuracy of axillary ultrasound in preoperative nodal staging of breast cancer - size of metastases as limiting factor
Since the performance of surgical procedures of the axilla in the treatment of early breast cancer is decreasing, the role of axillary ultrasound (AUS) as staging procedere has newly to be addressed. The aim of this study was to determine which patient or histopathological characteristics are related to false-negative AUS. In a retrospective study design data of 470 women with primary breast ca...
متن کاملThe accuracy of preoperative axillary nodal staging in primary breast cancer by ultrasound is modified by nodal metastatic load and tumor biology
Background The outcome of axillary ultrasound (AUS) with fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the diagnostic work-up of primary breast cancer has an impact on therapy decisions. We hypothesize that the accuracy of AUS is modified by nodal metastatic burden and clinico-pathological characteristics. Material and methods The performance of AUS and AUS-guided FNAB for predicting nodal metastases...
متن کاملNomograms for preoperative prediction of axillary nodal status in breast cancer
BACKGROUND Axillary staging in patients with breast cancer and clinically node-negative disease is performed by sentinel node biopsy (SLNB). The aim of this study was to integrate feasible preoperative variables into nomograms to guide clinicians in stratifying treatment options into no axillary staging for patients with non-metastatic disease (N0), SLNB for those with one or two metastases, an...
