Ultrasonography and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy can predict a heavy nodal metastatic burden in early-stage breast cancer

Ultrasonography and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy can predict a heavy nodal metastatic burden in early-stage breast cancer

Purpose: This study aimed to predict a heavy nodal burden (≥3 metastatic axillary lymph nodes [LNs]) using axillary ultrasonography (US) and US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in patients with early-stage breast cancer.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 403 women...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose: This study aimed to predict a heavy nodal burden (≥3 metastatic axillary lymph nodes [LNs]) using axillary ultrasonography (US) and US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in patients with early-stage breast cancer.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 403 women (404 cancers) who underwent US-guided FNAB for axillary LN staging from January 2006 to December 2015. US findings and US-guided FNAB results were reviewed and compared using pathology results as the reference. Diagnostic performance was analyzed, and clinicopathological and radiological findings were compared between patients with
