A lymph node transfer involves removing lymph nodes from the groin area and transferring them into the armpit.

Recently, omission of axillary lymph node dissection among patients with early breast cancer has been found to have no detrimental effect on outcomes in most cases, continuing a trend toward less ...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy replaced axillary lymph node dissection as a staging procedure about 20 years ago and it has resulted in “surgical de-escalation,” according to investigators.

Recently, primary results from the SOUND trial showed that omission of axillary surgery was noninferior to sentinel-lymph-node biopsy in patients with small breast cancers up to 2 cm. 8 The ...

Introduction Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a standard procedure for patients with clinically assessed negative axillary lymph nodes (cN0) during early-stage breast cancer (EBC). However, the ...

Breast cancer, being the most prevalent malignancy among women globally, presents a significant public health challenge due to its high incidence and mortality rates. To aid clinicians in a more ...

Surgery to remove lymph nodes from your armpit You might have surgery to remove most or all the lymph nodes in the armpit (axilla) close to the breast. This is called an axillary lymph node dissection ...

To balance the contribution of dual-modal images to axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) prediction, an adaptive fusion binary cross-entropy loss function and Focal loss function were designed as a ...

Axillary recurrence was rare among patients who skipped standard axillary lymph node dissection after being downstaged to node-negative disease, a recent analysis found.

The axillary recurrence rate in the 115 patients (53%) who required further lymph node removal was 3.5%, with an overall survival rate of 90% and a disease-free survival rate of 82%.

All patients underwent MRI and dedicated whole-body 18F-FDG PET/MRI. The imaging datasets were evaluated for axillary lymph node metastases based on structural and functional features.
