This study evaluates the risk clinically relevant SLN metastasis following a core needle (CNB) diagnosis pure DCIS.Cases that underwent SLNB CNB DCIS at our institution over 4.5 year period were evaluated. Parameters including characteristics on CNB, rate upstaging to invasive excision and result recorded.Of 296 patients with DCIS, 181 had (62%). invasion those undergoing was 30% (54/181)....
