Summary: Patients with contralateral axillary disease without distant metastasis are often treated more aggressively than other Stage IV patients. However, their treatment outcomes are more similar to patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular disease and other locally advanced breast cancers.

Summary: Axillary lymph node dissection is a crucial step in modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer, providing valuable information for prognosis and treatment planning. Anatomically divided into levels I, II, and III, the decision to perform level III lymph node dissection requires consideration of indications, complications, and surgical procedures.

Summary: The French group by Clough et al. and the Chinese group by Li et al. have proposed two types of classification of axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer in the last decade, identifying new anatomic landmarks for dividing the axillary space in lymph node dissection. Knowing the exact location of the sentinel node helps to focus surgical dissection and reduce the morbidity of procedures without compromising sensitivity.

Summary: In this study, ultrasound was found to have low specificity in diagnosing axillary lymph node metastases in breast cancer patients with atopic dermatitis, indicating that it may not be suitable for this particular group of patients.

Summary: This study examines the factors that might contribute to the ability to identify the clipped nodes post neoadjuvant therapy. The results suggest that radiologically abnormal lymph nodes on preoperative imaging after neoadjuvant therapy are more likely to be localized. Localization before starting neoadjuvant therapy is suggested.

Summary: This study evaluated the involvement of axillary reverse mapping (ARM) nodes in node-positive breast cancer patients. The results showed that ARM nodes were involved in 36.7% of patients in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) group, and the involvement rate in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) group was significantly lower than that in the clinicopathologically node-positive (CpN-positive) group. However, the risk of metastases in ARM nodes was still high in both the NAC group and CpN-positive group.

Summary: The SINODAR-ONE trial aimed to assess whether SLN biopsy only would worsen the prognosis compared with ALND in patients with T1-2 breast cancer and one or two macrometastatic SLNs. The results showed that the 3-year survival and relapse rates of patients treated with SLNB only were not inferior to those treated with ALND.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the frequency of metastatic involvement of an axillary reverse mapping (ARM) lymph node (LN) among patients undergoing axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Among the 139 patients enrolled, 20% of the patients had a positive ARM LN.

Summary: Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) is an axillary staging technique that involves removing confirmed metastatic lymph nodes in addition to sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). It has lower false-negative rates and avoids the complications of traditional axillary lymph node dissection. Therefore, marking positive axillary lymph nodes before NACT is crucial. Various localization methods such as clip placement, carbon-suspension liquids, localization wires, radioactive tracer-based localizers, magnetic seeds, radar reflectors, and radiofrequency identification devices are available. This paper aims to explain the management of axillary lymph nodes based on guidelines and discuss the features, advantages, and disadvantages of axillary lymph node markers.

Summary: This study developed a useful nomogram based on the ACOSOG-Z0011 research to evaluate sentinel lymph nodes using ultrasonography and PET/CT. The results showed that the nomogram was effective in identifying patients who do not require intraoperative analysis of sentinel lymph nodes and can be used to select candidates for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the incidence and pathologic features of axillary lymphadenopathy after COVID-19 vaccination. The results showed that lymphadenopathy was more common in younger women who received the Moderna vaccine. No further assessment is required for lymphadenopathy within 12 weeks after vaccination.

Summary: The study demonstrates the high accuracy of the automated GeneXpert-based breast cancer detection assay in detecting cancer in suspicious lymph nodes using FNA. The assay shows high sensitivity and specificity, providing doctors with a quick diagnostic tool that could potentially play a significant role in determining treatment regimens for patients.

Summary: The study evaluated the prognostic value of axillary lymph node regression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, finding that the regression grade of axillary lymph nodes and presumed initial pathologic N stage are independent prognostic factors in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Summary: Recent evidence indicates that loss of caveolin expression in the stromal compartment of human invasive breast carcinoma may be predictive of disease recurrence, metastasis, and poor prognosis. Additionally, a study on sCav-1 expression in breast cancer and axillary lymph nodes suggests that the loss of Cav-1 in lymph nodes may contribute to metastatic spread in breast cancer.

Summary: This study evaluated the co-infection of HIV with HBV, HCV, and HTLV-1, viral load, infection progression, and correlation with clinical status. The results showed that HIV CRF35-AD is more common in the northeast of Iran, and real-time quantification methods are reliable for monitoring the HIV-1 viral load.

Summary: The study found that the Cx37 1019 C > T polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, suggesting genetic variations may be related to susceptibility to various malignancies. Further research in diverse populations is needed to determine the potential value of this marker as a risk stratification biomarker for breast cancer.
