This study aims to assess the incidence of such nodes in completion mastectomy specimens in women who have had previous breast...
The aims of the study were to determine how often four node axillary sampling (4NAS) encompasses the sentinel node (SN) and to compare the relative sensitivity of 4NAS with sentinel node biopsy (SNB) for axillary node staging. 200 patients with breast cancer were preoperatively injected with 27 MBq 99m-Tc-labelled colloid adjacent to the tumour. At operation, standard 4NAS was performed. Each node...
