Expanding indications for nanoparticle-assisted axillary staging in node-positive breast cancer after neoadjuvant therapy: a prospective cohort study
NAAS exhibited excellent diagnostic performance after NAC. The incorporation of black-stained non-SLNs improved nodal retrieval and positive node detection. And patients with pre-NAC cN2-3 stages, like those with cN1 stage, may be potential candidates for axillary preservation applying NAAS.
