SAN ANTONIO -- Patients with early breast cancer who skipped axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) lived just as long as those who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), the randomized INSEMA ...

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, ...

Background: This study aims to introduce an optimized method named "non-grasping en bloc mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND)" through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Methods: Between ...

In the AXSANA/EUBREAST 3(R) study, researchers compared data about recurrence outcomes of more-invasive and less-invasive lymph node procedures.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy has replaced traditional axillary dissection, minimizing lymphedema risk in breast cancer surgery. The procedure targets the first draining lymph nodes, reducing unnecessary ...
