First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a less invasive surgery (sentinel lymph node biopsy) can replace a more extensive one (axillary lymph node dissection) in certain early-stage breast cancer patients. The researchers aim to see how often they can safely avoid the bigger surgery by using an ultrasound before the operation. The study includes 78 adults with HR+/HER2- breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 lymph nodes.
