Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is increasingly utilized for both early and locally advanced breast cancer.
  • Traditional axillary lymph node dissection is being re-evaluated for less invasive staging methods in the neoadjuvant setting.
  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has emerged as a less invasive alternative for axillary staging since the 1990s.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on axillary lymph nodes.
  • To evaluate various imaging modalities for assessing axillary lymph nodes in patients receiving NAC.
  • To determine the optimal role and timing of sentinel lymph node biopsy within the neoadjuvant treatment paradigm.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of studies on neoadjuvant chemotherapy and axillary staging.
  • Analysis of imaging techniques used for axillary lymph node evaluation.
  • Assessment of sentinel lymph node biopsy efficacy and safety in the neoadjuvant setting.

Main Results:

  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can alter the status of axillary lymph nodes, impacting staging accuracy.
  • Various imaging modalities show promise in evaluating nodal involvement but require careful interpretation.
  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy is feasible and effective in select patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy, but its timing and interpretation need consideration.

Conclusions:

  • A nuanced approach to axillary staging is necessary for patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
  • Integration of imaging and sentinel lymph node biopsy can optimize axillary staging.
  • A proposed treatment algorithm based on current evidence aims to guide clinical decision-making for neoadjuvant axillary staging.
