Abstract
Objective
To explore the clinical application value of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early breast cancer after local excision surgery.
Methods
A total of 93 breast cancer patients with clinical stage Tis/T1-2N0M0 who underwent SLNB and were confirmed by using tumor mass excision biopsy from March 2012 to November 2018 in Shanxi Bethune Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the postoperative paraffin pathology, the patients who were successfully detected sentinel lymph node (SLN) were divided into SLN-positive group with metastasis or SLN-negative group without metastasis. The clinicopathological data were used to analyze influencing factors of SLN metastasis and SLN detection number after excision biopsy of breast masses in the two groups.
Results
A total of 87 out of 93 patients were successfully detected SLN and the detection rate was 93.5% (87/93). A total of 255 SLN were detected, and the average number was 2.93 in per patient. All were subjected to rapid intraoperative freezing pathological, and 11 cases with positive SLN were detected. There were 17 patients who underwent axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), including 11 cases with positive SLN and 6 cases with SLN undetected. The paraffin pathology showed that 14 patients were confirmed as positive SLN, including 13 macrometastasis and 1 micrometastasis. The SLN false negative rate was 2.1% (3/14) of intraoperative frozen diagnosis. Univariate analysis showed that histological grade and intravascular thrombus of carcinoma were associated with SLN metastasis after breast cancer local excision; the number of SLN detection was effected by body mass index and staining method; the methylene staining method combined with radionuclide method could improve the detection rate of SLN (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the SLN non-detection of obesity patients was 2.651 times as much as that of normal patients (95% CI 1.592-8.194, P=0.010).
Conclusion
The SLNB and appropriate tracer method will have a high SLN detection rate and better clinical application value for early breast cancer patients after breast mass resection.
