In 167 patients with HR+/HER2− breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, lymphovascular invasion, number of positive sentinel nodes, and >50% positive sentinel nodes were the strongest predictors of high axillary burden; a nomogram was developed to guide axillary management decisions.

A decision tree cost-utility analysis found ICG more cost-effective than methylene blue for SLNB in breast cancer (ICER $4,044/QALY), with Monte Carlo simulation showing an 80% probability of ICG superiority.

This literature review and institutional case report describes primary NECB with synchronous pancreatic and liver metastases as an extraordinarily rare, aggressive phenotype requiring multidisciplinary management driven by tumor biology rather than surgery.

In 42 patients with DCIS undergoing breast-conserving surgery, 71.4% had detectable disseminated cancer cells in bone marrow, with residual-risk DCISionRT score significantly correlated with higher DCC burden compared with low- and elevated-risk groups.
