why here?
I hope posting this where readership is higher helps prevent newly diagnosed
patients with microinvasion from having as much difficulty as you two have had figuring out which way to go treatment-wise. Other articles have tried to look at the character of the DCIS ie, her2+ or not, how high the ki-67 is, etc in deciding which DCIS need a SLN biopsy. Interestingly, in this study one of the patients with micrometastasis only in the sentinel node had macrometastasis in other nodes--I suppose that means it probably was not her "sentinel" node and makes you wonder what technique(s) were utilized to decide which was the sentinel node.
Hope this helps!
