TLDR
The results of the present study support the introduction of less invasive techniques for the staging of the axilla, sentinel node biopsy being the most promising.About:

Prevalence of and factors associated with persistent pain following breast cancer surgery.
TL;DR: Two to 3 years after breast cancer treatment, persistent pain and sensory disturbances remain clinically significant problems among Danish women who received surgery in 2005 and 2006.

TL;DR: Complications associated with SLN dissection (SLND) plus ALND, versus SLND alone resulted in more wound infections, axillary seromas, and paresthesias thanSLND alone, and the use of SLNDalone resulted in fewer complications.

TL;DR: The data from this randomised study support the use of SNB in patients with clinically node negative breast cancer.

Persistent pain after breast cancer treatment: a critical review of risk factors and strategies for prevention.
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic analysis on methodology and evidence in research into persistent pain after breast cancer treatment during the period 1995 to 2010, in order to clarify the significance and relative role of potential risk factors.

TL;DR: This paper describes the rationale and design of PROFILES, a registry for the study of the physical and psychosocial impact of cancer and its treatment from a dynamic, growing population-based cohort of both short and long-term cancer survivors.

Improved axillary staging of breast cancer with sentinel lymphadenectomy.

TL;DR: The authors evaluated the effect of intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymphadenectomy (SLND) on the axillary staging of patients with carcinoma of the breast and compared SLND with standard axillary lymphenectomy (ALND) for the staging of breast cancer.

TL;DR: Sentinel lymph node biopsy using a gamma ray-detecting probe allows staging of the axilla with high accuracy in patients with primary breast cancer and is necessary to determine whether axillary dissection may be avoided in those patients with an uninvolved sentinel lymph nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of lymphoedema following the treatment of breast cancer.
TL;DR: The incidence of lymphoedema was studied in 200 patients following a variety of treatments for operable breast cancer and arm volume measurement 15 cm above the lateral epicondyle was the most accurate method of assessing differences in size of the operated and normal arm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morbidity following sentinel lymph node biopsy versus axillary lymph node dissection for patients with breast carcinoma.
TL;DR: Sentinel lymph node biopsy electively removes the first lymph node, which gets the drainage from the tumor and should therefore be associated with nearly zero morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of morbidity from complete axillary dissection
TL;DR: The side effects of full axillary dissection are common and all women should be warned of them prior to surgery; however they are usually mild and therefore should not preclude this procedure as a part of definitive surgical treatment.
