Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Is Accurate After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

Abstract

SLN biopsy is accurate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The SLN identification improved with experience. False-negative findings occurred at a low rate throughout the series. This technique is a potential way to guide the axillary treatment of patients who are clinically node negative after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
