21 © 2006 Cardinal Health. All rights reserved. PET Impact on Surgical Staging PET high positive predictive value in the axilla (98.4%) PET allows for direct full ALND without need for SLNB PET and surgical staging complementary Approaching the Breast Surgeon Gil-Rendo A, Brit J Surg. 2006; 93:707.
