Skipping standard axillary lymph node dissection led to very low rates of axillary recurrence in patients with node-positive breast cancer who became node-negative following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, ...
Less-invasive lymph node procedures are noninferior to axillary lymph node dissection for 3-year recurrence outcomes in breast cancer patients.
Crucially, the analysis demonstrated that less invasive procedures like TAD/SLNB/TLNB are noninferior to ALND in terms of axillary recurrence based on the lower bound of a 90% confidence interval ...
Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) is a relatively new breast cancer procedure. It allows surgical oncologists to specifically locate a lymph node that contained cancer before chemotherapy, remove it ...
The word “dissection” may conjure images of a high school biology lab full of frogs or sheep’s eyeballs in various stages of deconstruction. But an axillary node dissection is a decidedly different ...

MIAMI BEACH -- The surgical dogma favoring axillary dissection in breast cancer continues to give way to more selective data-driven strategies that allow more women to avoid axillary surgery, an ...
SAN ANTONIO — Omission of completion axillary lymph node dissection did not increase recurrence among patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer who had positive sentinel lymph node biopsy, ...
Effect of bevacizumab on the risk of chemotherapy-associated anemia in cancer patients: A meta-analysis. Background: Arm lymphedema and limb morbidity in patients going through axillary lymph node ...
Omitting axillary lymph node dissection does not increase the risk for recurrence or compromise 5-year overall survival outcomes in patients with early-stage, node-negative breast cancer with sentinel ...
At this year’s San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, Armando E. Giuliano, MD, will receive the William L. McGuire Memorial ...
Recently, omission of axillary lymph node dissection among patients with early breast cancer has been found to have no detrimental effect on outcomes in most cases, continuing a trend toward less ...
