Sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer revisited
چکیده انگلیسی

The axilla has long been a focus of clinicians' attention in the management of breast cancer. The approach to the axilla has undergone dramatic changes over the last century, from radical and extended radical excisions, through the introduction of sentinel node biopsy for node negative patients to the current situation where selective management of those with nodal involvement is being introduced.The introduction of lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy in the 1990's has been key to the major changes that have occurred. In less than 20 years it has moved from a hypothesis to a situation where it is the default approach to almost all clinically node negative patients and is being considered in other situations where axillary clearance was previously considered standard. This article reviews the development and introduction of sentinel node biopsy, its current uncertainties and limitations, and possible future developments.
