Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: High-risk patients undergoing prophylactic mastectomy (PM) may have unsuspected cancers identified on pathology. The optimum way to identify and manage them is controversial. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may identify occult cancer preoperatively. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) allows intraoperative staging and axillary dissection during the same operation. We determined the efficacy and cost of...
