This study confirms the feasibility of SLN biopsy after NAC in the case of large operable breast cancer. The detection rate, false-negative rate, and accuracy do not differ from those obtained in the case of early breast cancer without NAC, thus demonstrating the feasibility of SLN biopsy after NAC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
