Predictive Value of Tumor Load in Breast Cancer Sentinel Lymph Nodes for Second Echelon Lymph Node Metastases

Predictive Value of Tumor Load in Breast Cancer Sentinel Lymph Nodes for Second Echelon Lymph Node Metastases

Background: The need for routine axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in patients with invasive breast cancer and low-volume sentinel node (SN) involvement is questionable. Accurate prediction of second echelon lymph node involvement could identify those patients most likely to benefit from ALND.
