| Popis: | Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been shown to be relatively accurate in axillary nodal staging in breast cancer. In more than half of the patients with metastatic sentinel lymph node (SLN), the SLN was the only lymph node involved in the axilla. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for those female Chinese breast cancer patients who underwent SLNB. All patients had axillary dissection after SLNB. Those patients with metastatic SLN were selected for analysis. Various tumour factors and SLN factors were analysed to study the association with residual lymph node metastasis. Results: A total of 139 SLNB was performed. The success rate of SLN localization, false negative rate and accuracy were 92%, 9% and 95%, respectively. Fifty-five patients had metastases in the SLN. In 38 patients (69%), SLN was the only lymph node involved in the axilla. Tumours |
