The predictive value of lymph node status pre-operation by ultrasound and MRI in early and newly diagnosed breast cancer

MRI and ultrasound showed comparable, moderate sensitivity and high specificity for preoperative axillary metastasis. MRI tended toward higher specificity and positive predictive value, whereas sensitivity did not differ in paired studies. Imaging can guide triage, but histopathology remains necessary for definitive staging.

Abstract

MRI and ultrasound showed comparable, moderate sensitivity and high specificity for preoperative axillary metastasis. MRI tended toward higher specificity and positive predictive value, whereas sensitivity did not differ in paired studies. Imaging can guide triage, but histopathology remains necessary for definitive staging.
