Objective: Pre-operative axillary ultrasound (AUS) is used to stage the axilla and to prevent
the need for further axillary treatment following sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).

been suggested that invasive lobular cancer (ILC) has a distinctive biological growth
pattern, making axillary assessment more challenging. This study aimed to assess if
AUS for ILC was less sensitive than IDC.
