Introduction. There has been recent interest in validity of completion axillary node dissection
after a positive sentinel node. This systematic review aims to ascertain if sentinel lymph …

The surgical treatment of localized breast cancer has become progressively less aggressive
over the years. The management of the axillary lymph nodes has been modified by the …

Sentinel lymph node biopsy is now accepted as the initial approach for women with early
stage breast cancer with clinically node-negative disease. We performed a pooled analysis …

Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in early‐stage breast cancer with limited sentinel
node metastasis may not be superior to sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND). We …

INTRODUCTION: In many countries sentinel node biopsy (SNB) has become the standard of
care in breast cancer based on a large number of observational studies but without results …

Background In early breast cancer patients with sentinel node metastasis, the effect of
axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is controversial. The purpose of this study is to …

BACKGROUND: The Z0011-study, a landmark randomised controlled trial (RCT) challenged
the benefits of complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) compared with sentinel …

BACKGROUND: Sentinel node biopsy became the standard of care before consensus on
the technique was reached and without randomized studies having shown a similar or …

Hypothesis Sentinel node (SN) biopsy for breast cancer enhances staging sensitivity, often
demonstrating only micrometastases (< 2 mm) or isolated, keratin-positive cells. When SN …

Οbjective This study aimed at comparing survival outcomes between systematic axillary
lymph node dissection (ALND) vs sentinel lymph node and axillary lymph node dissection …
