Marking Techniques for Target Lymph Nodes in Node-Positive Breast Cancer Treated With Neoadjuvant Therapy in the AXSANA/EUBREAST-03/AGO-B-053 Study.

Key Points

• This research investigates the effectiveness of marking techniques for detecting lymph nodes in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy.
• Large prospective analysis of node-positive breast cancer patients
• Use of probe-guided detection markers
• Focus on marking metastatic lymph nodes prior to therapy
• Detection rates of marked lymph nodes were significantly higher
• Evidence supports the use of probe-guided markers before neoadjuvant therapy
