The Accuracy of the Preoperative Axillary Ultrasound Examination in Predicting the Status of the Sentinel Lymph Node Involvement in Patients with Infiltrating Breast Carcinoma

Abstract: Scopul studiului este de a determina acurateţea examinării ecografice preoperatorii a axilei în evaluarea statusului limfonodulului santinelă la pacientele cu carcinom mamar. Materiale şi Rezultate: Din cele 54 paciente evaluate, examinarea ecografic a axilei a evidenţiat limfonoduli vizibili în 35 de cazuri din care în 15 cazuri au fost prezente metastaze. În 19 cazuri, examinarea ecografică nu a evidenţiat limfonoduli axilari vizibili, iar în 3 din aceste cazuri au fost prezente metastaze. Rezultatele studiu… Show more

“…Although, AUS shows a great performance for diagnosis of N+, there are still high false positive rates in the diagnostic process that makes some patients suffer from great pain of ALND [16,17]. Some studies demonstrated that AUS had a great sensitivity and specificity for predicting the tendency of N+ [18][19][20], while there were other studies that showed low sensitivity and specificity, or even no predictive value [21,22]. Therefore, it is worth thinking deeply about the reason of contradiction and need to be explained in further research.…”
