Abstract
Sentinel lymphadenectomy with multiple sectioning and immunohistochemical staining of sentinel nodes increases the accuracy of axillary staging in breast cancer and can identify significantly more patients with lymph nodes metastases, especially micrometastases, than can ALND with routine histopathologic processing of lymph nodes.
