Abstract

Breast cancer remains a significant health concern, with predictions indicating a rise in global incidence. While the primary focus is on oncological radicality, the aesthetic and psychological impacts of surgical interventions, such as radical mastectomy, cannot be ignored. This study, conducted over 8 years, aimed to identify factors that can prevent unnecessary lymphadenectomy. The research analyzed various parameters, including age, BMI, tumor size, and immunohistochemistry, to determine their correlation with axillary lymph node invasion. The results highlighted the importance of tumor size and estrogen receptor status in predicting axillary lymph node metastasis. The study underscores the value of sentinel lymph node biopsy in early breast cancer treatment, emphasizing its benefits over complete axillary lymph node dissection.
