术前超声引导下对侵袭性乳腺癌患者的腋窝淋巴结行针刺活检:针对腋窝分期准确度和实用性的Meta分析
Objective: Systematic evidence synthesis of ultrasound-guided needle biopsy (UNB) of axillary nodes in breast cancer. Summary Background Data: Women affected by invasive breast cancer undergo initial staging with sentinel node biopsy, generally progressing to axillary node dissection (AND) if metastases are found.Preoperative UNB can potentially identify and triage women with node metastases directly to AND. Methods: Review and meta-analysis of studies reporting UNB accuracy: we estimated sensitivity, specificity, and PPV, using bivariate random-effects models and examined the effect of covariates; we calculated UNB utility (effect on axillary surgery). Results: Thirty-one studies provided 2874 UNB data from 6166 subjects (median proportion with metastatic nodes 47.2%; IQR 39.5%, 61.2%). Modeled estimates for UNB were: sensitivity 79.6% (95% confidence intervals [CI] 74.1–84.2), specificity 98.3% (95% CI 97.2–99.0), PPV 97.1% (95% CI 95.2–98.3); median UNB insufficiency was 4.1% (IQR 0%–10.9%). UNB sensitivity increased with increasing ultrasound sensitivity, and was higher in studies performing UNB for “suspicious” than for “visible” nodes. Specificity was higher in studies of consecutive (vs. selected) subjects, in studies reporting ultrasound data, and in more recent studies. Median proportion of women triaged directly to AND (attributed to UNB) was 19.8% (IQR 11.6%–28.1%) or 17.7% (IQR 11.6%–27.1%) if restricted to clinically node-negative series. Median proportion of women with metastatic axillary nodes potentially triaged to AND was 55.2% (IQR 41.8%–68.2%) and was higher (65.6%; IQR 48.9%–69.7%) in the subgroup of studies with median tumor size ≥21mm. Conclusions: Preoperative UNB of the axilla is accurate for initial staging of women with invasive breast cancer. Meta-analysis indicates that UNB provides better utility in women with average or higher underlying risk of node metastases.
