Controversies in Axillary Treatment of Breast Cancer Patients and Metastatic Sentinel Lymph Node

Abstract

Alejandra Garcia Novoa and Benigno Acea Nebri

In the last two decades the treatment of breast cancer has undergone multiple modifications, evolving from aggressive surgical interventions focused on the regional control, to the multidisciplinary treatment that allows local and systemic control of the disease. An example of this was the beginning of breast conserving surgery in the eighties [1], based on adjuvant breast radiotherapy. Some studies have shown that this association of treatments is an alternative to the mastectomy [2-4] in early stage breast cancer, offering similar local recurrences rates and overall survival.
