DOI: 10.1007/s12609-020-00388-7
Abstract: Axillary nodal disease is significantly less likely in both clinically node-negative (cN0) and node-positive (cN+) breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). There have thus been significant efforts to “de-escalate” axillary surgery in this setting.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.breast.2021.11.018
Abstract: The role of axillary surgery has evolved over the last three decades from routine axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) to sentinel lymph node biopsy to omission of axillary surgery altogether in select patients. This evolution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1245/s10434-020-08694-1
Abstract: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the mainstay of axillary staging for patients with clinically node-negative, early stage invasive carcinoma of the breast. However, patients with microinvasive disease (DCISM) present with a lower overall risk… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12051049
Abstract: Microinvasive breast cancer (MBC for short) is a rare entity with the decision of axillary surgery under debate in clinical practice. We aimed to unravel the lymph node metastasis (LNM) rate, axillary surgery, and prognosis… read more here.
