A New Possible Cut-Off of Cytokeratin 19 mRNA Copy Number by OSNA in the Sentinel Node of Breast Cancer Patients to Avoid Unnecessary Axillary Dissection: A 10-Year Experience in a Tertiary Breast Unit

A New Possible Cut-Off of Cytokeratin 19 mRNA Copy Number by OSNA in the Sentinel Node of Breast Cancer Patients to Avoid Unnecessary Axillary Dissection: A 10-Year Experience in a Tertiary Breast Unit

(1) Background: The main discriminant in breast cancer prognosis is axillary lymph node status. In a select cohort of patients, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) may be safely spared. This study aimed to determine a new possible cut-off of cytokeratin (CK) 19 mRNA copy number in the SLN to predi...
