Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Axillary lymph node status is a vital prognostic factors in breast cancer patients and provides crucial information for making treatment decisions.This projective observational study is planned to identify risk factors for axillary metastases in breast cancer patients with axillary ultrasound and to construct a nomogram to predict the risk of axillary metastases in these patients.

- description
- Surgical treatment for breast cancer patients include breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction. Intraoperative ALND is carried out when the SLNs are positive by intraoperative frozen section. Post-operative H\&E permanent staining is administered to confirm the results of the frozen section. Serial H\&E and immunohistochemistry stain (IHC) are only carried out when axillary metastases are not visible after H\&E staining.
