Abstract:

The axillary nodal status is a very important factor in the preoperative staging in breast cancer patients. Our department for the last three years has utilised predominantly US guided core biopsy 14G, and in cases with limited access or anatomical difficulties we reverted to utilising FNA sampling. The standard widely used approach for these procedures is from the infero-lateral to supero-medial aspect towards the target to avoid major vessels and muscles. To optimise access to the axilla, a wedge pillow is placed under the patient’s back to rotate the patient’s body and elevate the targeted area.
