No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative ultrasound-guided axillary lymph node biopsy for staging in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, and also to compare between ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology and core needle biopsy in their ability to detect metastatic disease in the axillary lymph nodes of patients with breast cancer.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-guided axillary lymph nodes FNAC and\or CNB.

Ultrasound-guided axillary lymph node fine needle aspiration and\\or core needle biopsy of the most suspicious lymph node. If all the lymph nodes appeared similar or normal, the lymph node that is lowest in the axilla will be selected because it is considered to most likely be the sentinel node.
