Axillary ultrasonography combined with pre-operative wire localisation of clipped node in nodal restaging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in node positive breast cancer patients: a pilot study

CONCLUSION: Combination of AxUS and ultrasound-guided wire localisation of pre-treatment positive CN has high diagnostic accuracy for nodal restaging after NACT in node positive breast cancer patients.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Addition of axUS assessment to wire localisation of CN reduces its FNR for detecting residual metastasis after NACT.PMID:34491822 | DOI:10.1259/bjr.20210788
