Abstract
Initial nodal staging is indicated in those cases of breast carcinoma in which the information obtained can change the therapeutic approach or establish prognostic information with implications for patient follow-up.In recent years, the conceptual changes introduced by clinical trials and observational studies have generated new challenges with disparity of criteria regarding the therapeutic approach to be followed in certain cases.This justifies the need to revise the latest consensus document of 2013.Although the main objective of the document is to update clinical practice in sentinel lymph node breast cancer, the changes that have occurred in recent years in the diagnosis and treatment of this tumor make it necessary to include aspects that, although outside the strict scope of the selective sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure, are directly related to it.
