The effect of sentinel node tumor burden on non-sentinel node status and recurrence rates in breast cancer.
Ann Surg Oncol. 2005; (9): 705-11
Routine axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) after selective sentinel lymphadenectomy (SSL) in the treatment of breast cancer remains controversial. We sought to determine the need for routine ALND by exploring the relationship between sentinel lymph node (SLN) and non-SLN (NSLN) status. We also report our experience with disease relapse in the era of SSL and attempt to correlate this with SLN tumor burden.
