Abstract

The paper reviews the literature on the diagnosis of lymph node micrometastases in patients with breast cancer (BC). It shows the development and diagnostic capabilities of modern ultrasound imaging techniques, such as elastometry and elastography, in evaluating the status of regional lymphatic efflux areas in BC and considers current approaches to indications for ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy.
