Axillary procedures for breast cancer

Abstract

The status of the axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients remains an important predictor of overall survival. The complete axillary node dissection has been largely replaced by the sentinel node mapping surgery in the past 15 years. The indications and techniques for sentinel node surgery have evolved over the past 10 years with resultant decreases in operative morbidity.
