Predictors of Nonsentinel Nodal Involvement to Aid Intraoperative Decision Making in Breast Cancer Patients with Positive Sentinel Lymph Nodes

Predictors of Nonsentinel Nodal Involvement to Aid Intraoperative Decision Making in Breast Cancer Patients with Positive Sentinel Lymph Nodes

Background. Up to 60% of patients with a positive sentinel lymph node (SLN) have no additional nodal involvement and do not benefit from completion axillary lymph node dissection (ALND).
