Estadificación ganglionar axilar prequirúrgica en el cáncer de mama: parámetros ecográficos y biopsia con aguja gruesa ecoguiada

Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of axillary lymph nodes that are suspicious for metastases from breast cancer at ultrasonography is a highly effective procedure that has low morbidity. Findings of cortical thickening and non-hilar cortical vascular flow in the same lymph node yield a positive predictive value of 100% in this series.
