Abstract:Objectives
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a microinvasive method to diagnose lymph nodes. This study aims to determine the capability of lymphatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (LCEUS)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) in predicting the axillary metastasis with the target of one lymph node (LN) in patients with breast cancer.
Methods
LCEUS was prospectively performed in 105 patients with breast cancer. The most suspicious L… Show more
