Skipping standard axillary lymph node dissection led to very low rates of axillary recurrence in patients with node-positive breast cancer who became node-negative following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, ...
Preoperative axillary ultrasound and MRI effectively predict sentinel lymph node status, guiding safe SLNB de-escalation in ...
Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) is a relatively new breast cancer procedure. It allows surgical oncologists to specifically locate a lymph node that contained cancer before chemotherapy, remove it ...
To independently evaluate the impact of axillary surgery type and regional lymph node radiation (RLNR) on breast cancer–related lymphedema (BCRL) rates in patients with breast cancer. The results of ...
In the AXSANA/EUBREAST 3(R) study, researchers compared data about recurrence outcomes of more-invasive and less-invasive lymph node procedures.
Patients with lymph node-positive breast cancer may still avoid extensive axillary surgery if they have clear nodes after systemic therapy, data from a prospective registry showed. Patients with clear ...
A total of 751 women clinically node negative post-NACT underwent LAS (excision of lymph node [LN] and fat below first intercostobrachial nerve). Of these women, 730 also underwent SNB by dual ...
Dye is injected into the breast, one to four of the nodes is identified with a probe and removed to see if cancer cells are present. Lymph nodes are small organs, typically ranging from the size of a ...
