Preoperative Evaluation of Axillary Lymph Nodes in Malignant Breast Lesions with Ultrasonography and Histopathologic Correlation
Purpose: Our aim is to define the sonographic criteria for assessing involved axillary nodes and to evaluate the accuracy of axillary ultrasound in the staging workup of individuals with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: 35 patients with breast cancer were prospectively evaluated with preoperative ultrasonography (US) to determine the presence of axillary lymph node metastasis. We determine...
متن کاملTumor growth rate of invasive breast cancers during wait times for surgery assessed by ultrasonography
Several studies suggest that delay in the surgical treatment of breast cancer is significantly associated with lower survival. This study evaluated the tumor growth rate (TGR) of invasive breast cancers during wait times for surgery quantitatively using ultrasonography (US) and identified clinicopathologic factors associated with TGR.This retrospective study was approved by our institutional re...
متن کاملNegligible advantages and excess costs of routine addition of breast ultrasonography to mammography in dense breasts.
AIM To assess the role of breast ultrasonography as a complement to negative mammography in radiologically dense breasts. MATERIAL AND METHODS Out of a total series of 49,044 consecutive mammograms reported as negative in asymptomatic women, 25,665 (52.3%) were coded as dense (BI-RADS D3-4) and ultrasonography was recommended. Due to organizational problems, ultrasonography was performed imme...
متن کاملAxillary ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration in preoperative staging of axillary lymph nodes in patients with invasive breast cancer*
OBJECTIVE To propose an algorithm to determine the necessity for ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) in preoperative axillary lymph node staging of patients with invasive breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective study developed at National Cancer Institute. The study sample included 100 female patients with breast cancer referred for axillary staging by US-FNA. RE...
متن کاملthe clinical value of axillary ultrasonography for detection of axillary lymph node metastasis in cases with breast cancer
background : the axillary lymph node stage is one of the single most important determinants in the prognosis of breast cancer patients. the disadvantages of the two previous methods used for evaluating axillary node metastasis, i.e., axillary lymph node dissection and sentinel lymph node biopsy, have directed researchers to investigate new techniques for this purpose. the aim of the current stu...
