– At present, surgical strategies for breast cancer patients with >2 lymph nodes (LN) involved differ from those with no or lower degree of nodal involvement. Preoperative assessment of the axilla is less sensitive in patients with lobular carcinoma (ILC) than patients with other histological tumour types. – A retrospective analysis of axillary staging by palpation, axillary ultrasound (AXUS) and AXUS-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of 153 patients with ILC diagnosed and operated on between January 2013 and December 2020 was performed. Patients had either sentinel node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection according to current practice. In period 1, patients had FNAC only when AXUS suggested nodal involvement (n = 106), and in period 2, all ILC patients had axillary FNAC (n = 47). – Of the factors associated with >2LNs involvement, logistic regression suggested only AXUS/FNAC based staging as independent variable for all patients. Patients with AXUS-guided FNAC had a significantly higher proportion of true negative and lower proportion of true positive cases in the P2 period (0 vs 55% and 72% vs 11% for >2 LNs involvement, respectively; both p < 0.0001). – AXUS-guided FNAC of all ILC patients did not result in improved preoperative identification of patients with >2 metastatic LNs but increased the false-negative rate of the assessment by producing false-negative results in patients who would not have undergone a biopsy due to negative AXUS findings.
