Selective use of intraoperative sentinel lymph node pathological evaluation in breast cancer
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundIn breast cancer staging, the need for intraoperative sentinel lymph (SLN) evaluation is not well established. This study compares intraoperative use of touch preparation (TP), frozen section (FS), and factors that may influence the selective use of intraoperative SLN analysis.MethodsBreast cancer patients (1998–2007) undergoing SLN evaluation were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsOf 205 SLN procedures, 157 cases underwent intraoperative evaluation, 43% (FS) and 57% (TP) with positive pathology in 21% and 20%, respectively. The false negative case rate was 16% for TP versus 12% for FS. Of T1, low-grade tumors, 9% were intraoperatively positive, versus 43% of T2–3, moderate- to high-grade tumors (P = .006). Additional positive axillary nodes were found in 43% of the higher risk patients versus 0% in the lower risk groups.ConclusionsBoth TP and FS are accurate for intraoperative SLN evaluation and can be selectively applied to breast cancer staging in low- and high-risk groups.
