What is Determination of Axillary Lymph Node Status by Fine-needle Aspiration: Preoperative Axillary Staging vs. Postoperative Surveillance for Breast Cancers about?
## Background Despite the common use of ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for axillary node (AN) in breast cancer patients, only a limited number of studies are available regarding the diagnostic performance of AN-FNA according to the suspicion level based on US findings. This study compares the outcomes of US-guided AN-FNA in breast cancer patients, differentiating between those undergoing staging and surveillance. ## Methods A cross-sectional retrospective study with retrospective analysis was conducted on 767 consecutive AN-FNA procedures performed in 2017 at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, with 654 for staging and 113 for surveillance in breast cancer patients. The radiologists performed axillary US and the specific finding was prospectively classified into the AN-reporting and data system (AN-RADS) category 3–5 before FNA. The malignancy rate of each category was evaluated. The chi-square test, with or without Bonferroni correction, or Fisher’s exact test was used to compare the malignancy rates between the staging and surveillance groups for each category. ## Results Among the 767 AN-FNAs, 424 (55.3%) were malignant. The malignancy rate was significantly hi
