Morbidity following sentinel lymph node biopsy versus axillary lymph node dissection for patients with breast carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Axillary lymph node dissection for staging the axilla in breast carcinoma patients is associated with considerable morbidity, such as edema of the arm, pain, sensory disturbances, impairment of arm mobility, and shoulder stiffness. Sentinel lymph node biopsy electively removes the first lymph node, which gets the drainage from the tumor and should therefore be associated with nearly ...

Involvement of these nodes often provides the pivotal information for making decisions about adjuvant therapy: as a significant predictor of the likelihood of developing future metastatic disease, it forecasts the absolute risk reduction afforded by either hormonal treatment or chem...
