Abstract:
Breast cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence among women in China, and axillary lymph node metastasis is one of the main metastatic pathways of breast cancer. Early detection and accurate assessment of axillary lymph node metastasis has great significance in guiding treatment and judging prognosis. Currently, imaging techniques are widely used in the diagnosis of breast diseases. Ultrasound, as a commonly used clinical imaging method, has become the preferred method for breast cancer lymph node assessment because of its low price, simple operation and multiple testing. This article review the current status of research on the commonly used ultrasound assessment of axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
