“…For those with clinically suspicious ALNs, the panel recommends consideration of either a core biopsy or FNA of these nodes. 51 If FNA or core biopsy indicates any positive nodes, these should be removed after neoadjuvant therapy at the time of definitive surgery.…”

“…Consequently, 44 articles included information relating FNAC and breast cancer diagnosis. But only 21 of 44 articles satisfied the requirements of the meta-analysis fully (Bonnema et al, 1997;Bedrosian et al, 2003;Deurloo et al, 2003;Kuenen-Boumeester et al, 2003;Sapino et al, 2003;Duchesne et al, 2005;Podkrajsek et al, 2005;Popli et al, 2006;van Rijk et al, 2006;Altomare et al, 2007;Ciatto et al, 2007;Alkuwari et al, 2008;Tahir et al, 2008;Baruah et al, 2010;Jung et al, 2010;Luparia et al, 2010;Carroll et al, 2011;Devaraj et al, 2011;Hayes et al, 2011;Schiettecatte et al, 2011), addressing the value of FNAC in staging of axillary lymph node in breast cancer patients. The detailed procedure was seen in Figure 1.…”

“…4 The overall sensitivity of axillary lymph node FNA in all the cases studied was 65% and the specificity was 100%. The sensitivity of FNA was lower in the sentinel lymph node group than in the full lymph node dissection group (16% vs 88%, respectively), which was believed to be attributable to the small size of the metastatic foci in the sentinel lymph node group (median, 0.25 cm).…”

“…In addition to imaging, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a minimally invasive intervention that establishes the cytological features of image-suspicious lymph nodes. 4 In this respect, ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (US-FNA) is a suggested technique for axillary lymph node staging. However, US-FNA is not as sensitive as SLNB and its false-negative rate is too high to entirely replace SLNB.…”
