Subscribe/Renew Journal
This is a prospective study undertaken at Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital between August 2016 and August 2018 to evaluate the sensitivity of USG-guided axillary node FNAC in breast cancer females. 40 patients with biopsy have been shown to have breast cancer but clinically adverse axilla. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated by comparing the FNAC report to the postoperative histopathological report.
In this study US-FNAC showed the accuracy of 90.9% .USG of axilla in correlation with US-FNAC showed the sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of 97.77%, 25%, 92.01%, and 50% respectively.
