Optimal Selection of Imaging Examination for Lymph Node Detection of Breast Cancer With Different Molecular Subtypes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Axillary lymph node management is an important part of breast cancer surgery and the accuracy of preoperative imaging evaluation can provide adequate information to guide operation. Different molecular subtypes of breast cancer have distinct imaging characteristics. This article was aimed to evaluate the predictive ability of imaging methods in accessing the status of axillary lymph node in different molecular subtypes.

Methods

A total of 2,340 patients diagnosed with primary invasive breast cancer after breast surgery from 2013 to 2018 in Jiangsu Breast Disease Center, the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University were included in the study. We collected lymph node assessment results from mammography, ultrasounds, and MRIs, performed receiver opera
