Abstract
In a prospective study of 29 patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer, sampling of rib marrow was superior to sampling of iliac-crest marrow for detection of micrometastases. Combination of marrow micrometastatic analysis with sentinel lymph-node mapping may improve accuracy of staging in breast cancer.
