The Value of Ultrasonographic Detection for Metastatic Axillary Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer
prognosis and determining the optimal treatment for breast cancer. Axillary lymph node metastasis occurs in 30-40% of all patients with breast cancers (1, 2). A physical examination alone is neither a sensitive nor reliable way to ascertain lymph node status because the metastatic lymph nodes are often not palpable and reactive lymph nodes may be mistaken for metastasis (3, 4). There are severa...
متن کاملAxillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients: sonographic evaluation*
Axillary staging of patients with early-stage breast cancer is essential in the treatment planning. Currently such staging is intraoperatively performed, but there is a tendency to seek a preoperative and less invasive technique to detect lymph node metastasis. Ultrasonography is widely utilized for this purpose, many times in association with fine-needle aspiration biopsy or core needle biopsy...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of metastatic axillary lymph nodes in breast MRI
PURPOSE The most important prognostic variable for early stage breast cancer is the status of axillary lymph nodes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for metastatic axillary lymph node in breast cancer cases with post-operative sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Women aged between 21 and...

متن کاملNovel Biomarkers Aim at Detecting Metastatic Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer
Background: Intra-operative molecular diagnostic assays are currently used for the detection of lymph node metastases. The objective of this study was to find new biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy in the detection of metastatic axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. Methods: We applied an absolute quantitative real-time RT-PCR to quantitate the expression of CK19, KLK11, and CL...
