Which breast cancer patients need lymph nodes removed? Ultrasound narrows it down, study finds

Which breast cancer patients need to have underarm lymph nodes removed? New research is narrowing it down: a study finds that not all women with lymph node-positive breast cancer treated with chemotherapy before surgery need to have all of their underarm nodes taken out. Ultrasound is a useful tool for judging before breast cancer surgery whether chemotherapy eliminated cancer from the underarm lymph nodes, the researchers found.
