(biopsy) usually must be taken. If cancer is suspected to have spread (metastasized) to nearbylymph nodes, they must also be sampled.Metastasisgenerally begins in a so-called sentinel lymph node (the first lymph node invaded by cancer cells) and, in the case of breast cancer, spreads to ...

A fluid discharge test is used to check any fluid coming from your nipple to see if it contains cancer cells. A biopsy is a procedure used to remove part or all of the tumor. The tissue is tested for cancer, the type of cancer it is, and if it responds to hormones. A mammogram is...
Current medical practitioners usually use IHC tests on breast biopsy specimens to determine the molecular subtype of breast cancer, but this method has many disadvantages, such as the high test cost, the interreader variability of pathologists and, obviously, the need for a biopsy specimen. Further...
biopsy was the “gold standard” for breast diagnosisbefore the early 1990s, when most patients with breast cancerpresentedwithclinicalsymptomsandwerereferredtosurgeonsfordiagnostic work-up. The growth in the rate of mammographicscreening in the 1980s signif i cantly increased the number of non-palpab...
Breast cancer LNM can be classified into the following categories: N0 (no cancer cells in nearby lymph nodes); N1 (cancer has spread to 1–3 underarm lymph nodes, or a few cells have been found in lymph nodes near the breastbone during sentinel node biopsy); N2 (cancer has spread to ...
3 False-Positive Findings False-positive findings are common in breast cancer screening. The most common outcome of a false-positive finding is being recalled for additional imaging. A smaller percentage of women who are recalled go on to biopsy, and a majority of these women will have benign ...

With an increasing burden of breast cancer disease and its treatment cost, introduction of cost-effective therapies and diagnostic models may prevent cancer mortality. As a low economic diagnostic model, low axillary lymph node sampling technology proved better in comparison to sentinel node biopsy [28...
