AB  - In  the  current  era,  many  patients  present  with  a  small  primary  breast  cancer  detected  by  mammography  or  other  screening  procedures.  In  recent  decades,  the  median  size  of  nodal  metastases  has  decreased,  paralleling  the  decrease  in  primary  tumor  size.  The  median  size  of  nodal  metastases  is  now  approximately  6  mm,1  and  70%  to  80%  of  patients  have  negative  nodes  after  surgical  and  pathologic  nodal  staging.  A  systematic  approach  to  the  evaluation  of  lymph  nodes  is  needed  today  to  reliably  identify  metastatic  carcinoma.
