The BOOG 2013-08 trial evaluates whether SLNB can be safely omitted for patients with clinically T1-2N0 treated with ...

In the AXSANA/EUBREAST 3(R) study, researchers compared data about recurrence outcomes of more-invasive and less-invasive lymph node procedures.

Recently, omission of axillary lymph node dissection among patients with early breast cancer has been found to have no detrimental effect on outcomes in most cases, continuing a trend toward less ...

Cancer treatment routinely involves taking out lymph nodes near the tumor in case they contain metastatic cancer cells. But new findings from a clinical trial show that immunotherapy can activate ...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy has replaced traditional axillary dissection, minimizing lymphedema risk in breast cancer surgery. The procedure targets the first draining lymph nodes, reducing unnecessary ...

A multicenter study led from Finland has shown that lymph node transfer is a viable treatment for the swelling in the affected limb, a condition known as lymphedema, after breast cancer surgery.
