Axillary lymph node evaluation in breast cancer using multiple ultrasound methods
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses multiple ultrasound methods to check the lymph nodes under the arm in people newly diagnosed with breast cancer. It aims to better understand the spread of cancer before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with primary breast cancer (breast cancer that was not treated before).
- You are scheduled for a pre-operative assessment that includes checking the lymph nodes under your arm.
- You have not had any treatment for breast cancer before, like radiation or chemotherapy to the area.
- You have not had surgery on your armpit (axilla) in the past.
- You have no known cancer spread to other organs like the bone, liver, or lungs.
- You are willing to join the study and give your consent.

This study uses ultrasound imaging to monitor how lymph nodes in the armpit respond to chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to predict which patients will have a good response to treatment and may need less extensive surgery.
This study checks how well CT scans and ultrasound (done while lying face-down) can identify underarm lymph node involvement in people with breast cancer before surgery. If accurate, this may help guide whether additional lymph node surgery is needed.
This study looks back at past MRI scans and lymph node biopsies or surgeries in people with breast cancer to better understand how cancer spreads to the lymph nodes. If you had these tests as part of your care, your data might help improve future treatment decisions.
This study uses a blood test and imaging to predict whether breast cancer has spread to underarm lymph nodes, helping guide surgery. It may reduce unnecessary lymph node removal.
This trial compares two treatments for people with breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes: radiation therapy to the armpit or surgery to remove the lymph nodes. The goal is to see which approach works best after a tailored surgery to remove the most suspicious lymph nodes.
This trial compares three methods (LN-RADS, RECIST 1.1, and Node-RADS) to see which best evaluates lymph nodes in people with cancer. It may help doctors make more accurate decisions about your lymph nodes using CT or MRI scans.
