Summary

* This is a phase II, prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled study. * Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) is a standard staging procedure in early breast cancer. The potentially increasing false negative rate of SNB was concerned if the sonographic abnormal node was not excised. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of SNB in breast cancer with sonographic abnormal axillary lymph nodes.

Conditions

• Breast Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Wire-localized abnormal node	Before the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) operation, a hookwire was placed at the suspicious axillary lymph node by ultrasound guidance to localize the abnormal node. In the SLNB operation, radioactive nodes and wire-localized nodes were removed and labeled separately for pathological examination.
