The existing standard for axillary lymph node staging in breast cancer patients with a
clinically and radiologically normal axilla is sentinel lymph node biopsy with a radioisotope …

Purpose This meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the utility of preoperative axillary
ultrasound combined with US-guided lymph node biopsy if indicated (AUS±biopsy), in terms …

Objective: Systematic evidence synthesis of ultrasound-guided needle biopsy (UNB) of
axillary nodes in breast cancer. Summary Background Data: Women affected by invasive …

Percutaneous image-guided breast biopsy is widely practised to evaluate predominantly
non-palpable breast lesions. There has been steady development in percutaneous biopsy …

Aim To evaluate whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided core biopsy of the
sentinel lymph node (SLN) could identify metastatic nodes preoperatively and reduce the …

Purpose To compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonographically (US)-guided fine-
needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and core-needle biopsy (CNB) of the axillary lymph nodes …

OBJECTIVE. Recent reports indicate a lack of survival benefit for axillary lymph node
dissection (ALND) versus sentinel lymph node biopsy in early breast cancer. To study this …

Axillary lymph node status is the most important prognostic factor in early-stage breast
cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is used to determine the need for axillary node …

Purpose: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the gold-standard procedure for evaluating
axillary lymph node (ALN) status in patients with breast cancer. However, the morbidity of …
