Summary

The study was performed to determine if either ultrasound guided core biopsy or fine needle aspiration of an axillary lymph node has superior sensitivity in detecting metastatic carcinoma from the ipsilateral breast.

Conditions

  • Focus: Breast Cancer With Axillary Node Metastasis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fine needle aspiration and core biopsy of lymph node

Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of an abnormal lymph node followed by ultrasound guided core biopsy of the same node followed by clip placement into the node.

PROCEDURE

Axillary surgery

Patients underwent axillary node dissection or excision of setinel axillary nodes at the time of surgical treatment of their breast cancer.

OTHER

Titanium marker

A titanium marker was deposited into the lymph node that was percutaneously biopsied , immediately after the last tissue sample obtained.
