Reliability of predicting low-burden (≤ 2) positive axillary lymph nodes indicating sentinel lymph node biopsy in primary operable breast cancer — a retrospective comparative study with PET/CT and breast MRI

Reliability of predicting low-burden (≤ 2) positive axillary lymph nodes indicating sentinel lymph node biopsy in primary operable breast cancer — a retrospective comparative study with PET/CT and breast MRI

Abstract Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard of care for axillary staging in early breast cancer patients with low-burden axillary metastasis (≤ 2 positive nodes). This study aimed to determine the diagnostic performances of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tom...
