When it comes to needle biopsy, it can be quite difficult to perform, especially for small lymph nodes of about one to two centimeters in size that are mobile and can be pushed away by a finger. Biopsying such lymph nodes is as challenging as hitting a target from a hundred paces.Moreo...

"For most patients with invasive breast cancer, if the axillary ultrasound is negative, we perform a sentinel lymph node biopsy at the time of the breast operation to make sure cancer has not spread. When the preoperative axillary ultrasound shows suspicious lymph nodes, we then do a fine-need...

Since the tumor growth depends on the formation of feeding vessels, color/power Doppler ultrasonography (US) has been used to evaluate the vascular flow images of lymph nodes (LNs) in order to differentiate benign LNs from malignant LNs or lymphoma from metastatic carcinoma. We performed color/po...
