Abstract Introduction Accurately assessing axillary lymph node (ALN) status in breast cancer is vital for clinical decision making and prognosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapped by multidetector-row computed tomography lymphography (MDCT-LG) for ALN metastasis in breast cancer patients. Methods 112 patients with breast cancer who underwent preoperative MDCT-LG examination were included in the study. Long-axis diameter, short-axis diameter, ratio of long-/short-axis and cortical thickness were measured. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate independent predictors associated with ALN metastasis. The prediction of ALN metastasis was determined with related variables of SLN using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results Among the 112 cases, 35 (30.8%) cases had ALN metastasis. The cortical thickness in metastatic ALN group was significantly thicker than that in non-metastatic ALN group (4.0 ± 1.2 mm vs. 2.4 ± 0.7 mm, P 3.3 mm (OR 24.53, 95% CI 6.58–91.48, P |
