Risk Stratification of Patients With Early Breast Cancer

Micro-Abstract A retrospective study of the patients with early breast cancer who underwent axillary node clearance to assess the role of pre-operative axillary ultrasound +/− biopsy and to assess the need for ANC for node positive patients. This study proves that pre-op axillary US helps to identif...

Zusammenfassung:	Micro-Abstract A retrospective study of the patients with early breast cancer who underwent axillary node clearance to assess the role of pre-operative axillary ultrasound +/− biopsy and to assess the need for ANC for node positive patients. This study proves that pre-op axillary US helps to identify high risk patients and ANC is not warranted in micro metastasis.
