Abstract

Background: Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) represents a minimally invasive technique for axillary staging in early breast cancer. SLNB is useful in surgical complications risk reducing compared to complete axillary lymph node dissection (CALND). Micrometastases (MM) prognostic value has been recently challenged. The 2011 St Gallen Consensus Conference recommended that micrometastases in a single sentinel node should not be an indication for axillary dissection irrespective of the type of breast surgery given.
