Abstract
Sentinel lymph node biopsy can be performed accurately in patients with a biopsy diagnosis of DCIS. The rate of axillary disease in patients with pure, completely resected DCIS is low; therefore, SLNB is not indicated in all patients with this biopsy diagnosis. Because of a high rate of invasive disease on the final pathology of patients with DCIS diagnosed by core biopsy, these patients should be offered SLNB.
