“…Different methods are used to detect metastases in axillary lymph nodes preoperatively. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Although some studies have used ultrasonographic imaging techniques alone, [2][3][4][5][6]12,17,18 others have used fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology with or without ultrasound guidance to improve the detection of metastases. 1,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]15,19 FNA cytology of axillary lymph nodes is a simple, minimally invasive technique that can be utilized as a tool with which to select patients for sentinel versus full lymph node dissection procedures in We thank Dr. R. P. Michel for editorial assistance with the article.…”

“…Ultrasound can identify abnormal nodes in patients presenting with breast cancer and axillary metastasis (13,22). In all axillary enlarged nodes, approximately 65% arem alignant in breast cancer,t his can be confirmed with ultrasound-guided corebiopsy (17).The corebiopsy of axilla has proven to be asafe and reliable method in axilla (15).…”

“…Axillary ultrasound combined with corebiopsy and aclinical examination is apowerful method in assessing axillarynodal status after therapy for advanced breast cancer (13)(14)(15). Because SN biopsy is known to produce false-negative results in 5-10% of patients, we examined the usefulness of AU to detect the possible failures of SN biopsiesi na long-term follow-up study (13-49 months).…”

“…O deslocamento do centro ecogênico também ocorre nos processos inflamatórios 21,22 . A ecotextura do parênquima e a regularidade da margem precisam ser avaliadas em alta resolução, obtida com transdutores modernos de alta freqüência, sendo citados mais recentemente na literatura 14,23 . Aparentemente, tratam-se de parâmetros promissores na avaliação linfonodal pela ultra-sonografia.…”
