Abstract
Background: Ultrasound assessment of the axilla remains an important diagnostic component in the pre-operative investigation of breast cancer, which helps determine the surgical management of the axilla. The threshold to biopsy an axillary node based on its cortical thickness can vary between centres, with no current nationally agreed consensus within the UK. Our centre recently changed its threshold for axillary node biopsy from a cortical thickness of 2.5 mm to 3 mm, based on recent evidence. We retrospectively analysed our own data to assess the potential impact of this change on patient management.
