Lymph Node Evaluation in the Axilla of Symptomatic Older Women During Breast Sonography.
This pilot clinical trial studies ultrasound in detecting lymph node metastasis in older
patients with undergoing breast sonography. Diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound, may
help find breast cancer and find out how far the disease has spread
patients with undergoing breast sonography. Diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound, may

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To develop a reliable and consistent set of guidelines for utilizing diagnostic
ultrasound to assess axillary lymph nodes for patient suspicious of breast cancer with
possible nodal metastasis.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore whether the data collected can be used for pathologic validation of metastatic
disease.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo breast ultrasound.
