Accuracy and Influencing Factors of Axillary Lymph Node Ultrasound Assessment After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer
This study shows that ultrasound has moderate accuracy in assessing axillary lymph node status after NAC, but ultrasound alone is not sufficient for definitive assessment, and surgical confirmation is still necessary. The identified significant factors can optimize the use of ultrasound in post-NAC axillary staging.
