Sentinel-node biopsy to avoid axillary dissection in breast cancer with clinically negative lymph-nodes.

TL;DR: Patients without clinical involvement of the axilla should undergo sentinel-node biopsy routinely, and may be spared complete axillary dissection when the sentinel node is disease-free, and thereby provide important information about the status of axillary nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary dissection in breast cancer: results in a large series.
