Systematic review shows advancements in ultrasound evaluation of sentinel lymph node status in breast cancer, indicating improved diagnostic accuracy.
Lymph node metastasis remains the predominant spread pattern of breast cancer. Accurate assessment of sentinel lymph node status through ultrasound examination is crucial for clinical decision-making regarding surgical approaches and patient prognosis. In non-invasive preoperative evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes, tumor characteristics in breast masses provide valuable diagnostic information. This review systematically examines current research advancements in assessing sentinel lymph node status using ultrasound imaging of primary lesions, provide crucial imaging support for precision treatment and prognosis management in breast cancer.
