乳腺癌是女性常见的恶性肿瘤之一,过去的十几年里,乳腺癌的发病率持续上升,而死亡率呈现下降趋势,这得益于乳腺癌的早期发现和更有效的治疗。2010年版NCCN指出,如果拥有一只经验丰富的前哨淋巴结活检团队,且患者适合做前哨淋巴结活检,则前哨淋巴结活检是腋窝淋巴结分期的首选方法。 Breast cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in women. In the past ten years, the incidence of breast cancer continues to rise while the mortality rate shows a downward trend. This is due to the early detection and more effective treatment of breast cancer. The 2010 edition of the NCCN states that sentinel lymph node biopsy is the preferred method of axillary lymph node staging if an experienced sentinel lymph node biopsy team is available and the patient is eligible for sentinel lymph node biopsy.
