No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide.The main cause of cancer related death is the invasion and metastasis. The usual site of spread outside the breast is to lymph nodes in the axilla.

Conditions

  • Breast Cancer Female

Interventions

OTHER

Unenhanced magnetic resonance imaging.

The axillary lymph nodes will be evaluated on axial Time 1-weighted images obtained without fat saturation. We will measure the largest dimension and cortical thickness of each lymph node and ratio of the two measurements will be calculated. The lymph nodes seen in Time 1-weighted images will be subsequently identified on the diffusion-weighted images to calculate the apparent diffusion coefficient value of each lymph node. Axillary lymph nodes scanned by magnetic resonance imaging will be compared by results of histopathological examination.
