Abstract:Lymph node (LN) status is an essential prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC) patients, with an important role in the surgical and therapeutic plan. Recently, we have been developed a novel system for real-time intra-operative electrical LN scanning in BC patients. The ELS scores were calibrated by pathological evaluation of the LNs. Herein, we evaluated the efficacy of ELS in a prospective study for non-chemo-treated breast cancer patients. This is a prospective study in which ELS scores are blind for pathol… Show more
