Abstract
AUS-alone or combined AUS/FNAC had a high accuracy rate coupled with a more than satisfactory efficiency due to their low costs and easy access for the preoperative staging of the axilla. Notably, AUS-alone might be suggested for the preoperative staging of patients with early stage breast cancer because FNAC did not increased the specificity but reduced the sensitivity of the technique. Patients with negative findings might undergo either SLNB or close observation while waiting for the definitive results of ongoing SOUND randomized clinical trial.
