Excerpt

All breast cancer patients in our centre undergo ipsilateral axillary ultrasound, followed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) where appropriate in line with NICE guidelines. We use two needle passes into a suspicious node, without suction. Improved preoperative detection of nodal metastasis allows patients improved triage to appropriate axillary surgery. We present our analysis of the impact of the second needle in our axillary FNA procedure. …
