Evaluation of the axillary lymph nodes is critical in the management of breast cancer because it is a key predictor of survival outcome. Surgeons must not only be able to perform sentinel lymph node dissection with high accuracy but also understand the implications of the results. Management of clinically node-negative and node-positive cases can vary significantly, as described in this review. With emerging data, management of the axilla in breast cancer will continue to evolve.
腋窝淋巴结的评估在乳腺癌的治疗中至关重要,因为它是生存结果的关键预测因素。外科医生不仅必须能够高度准确地进行前哨淋巴结活检,还必须理解结果的含义。如本综述所述,临床淋巴结阴性和阳性病例的处理可能有很大差异。随着新数据的出现,乳腺癌腋窝的管理将继续发展。
