Evaluating axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients using CT and ultrasound

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the status of axillary lymph nodes in patients with operable breast cancer using prone positioning computed tomography (CT) scans and Doppler ultrasound. By accurately identifying the presence of metastasis in lymph nodes before surgery, the study seeks to improve treatment planning and reduce complications associated with unnecessary lymph node dissections. A total of 500 patients will be recruited, and various comparisons will be made between different lymph node statuses based on imaging results. Statistical methods will be employed to evaluate the significance of findings across groups.
