Implication

Prospective study shows accuracy of targeted axillary dissection in patients with node-positive breast cancer, indicating its potential for effective lymph node identification.

Key Points

Targeted axillary dissection effectively identifies positive lymph nodes, achieving an accuracy rate of 85.4%.
The false-negative rate for targeted axillary dissection was 6.3%, which dropped to 3.8% by retrieving three or more lymph nodes.
This observational analysis evaluated outcomes in 254 breast cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, focusing on lymph node staging.
Findings support targeted axillary dissection with carbon suspension as a method for reliable axillary staging.
