Tóm tắt

Sentinel lymphadenectomy may be safely omitted for postmenopausal patients with low-risk estrogen-receptor-positive cancers who have a negative pretreatment axillary ultrasound. Surgical staging should still be done for patients who are premenopausal or postmenopausal with high-risk estrogen receptor-positive cancers, for those having neoadjuvant chemotherapy, or those with estrogen-receptor-negative or human epidermal growth factor receptor-positive cancers.
