Additional Imaging Methods for Assessing Axillary Lymph Node Involvement in Breast Cancer

Breast cancer frequently spreads to the axillary lymph nodes, and accurate assessment of axillary lymph node involvement is essential for staging and treatment planning. Standard imaging methods may not always reliably determine the extent of axillary disease before treatment. This study evaluates the usefulness of additional radiological imaging methods for assessing axillary lymph node involvement in patients with breast cancer. The aim is to improve pre-treatment identification of lymph node metastases and to better estimate the extent of axillary disease.
