Abstract:
Sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB)can predict the status of axillary basin and precisely stage the patients with breast cancer.It can also release the patients whose sentinel lymph node(SLN)is negative from the unnecessary axillary lymph node dissection(ALND)and relieve the complication of the surgery.To standardize the pathologic examination and to make the best use of the molecular biology technique will help to diagnose the micrometastasis accurately.But the prognostic and therapeutic significance of the SLN microme tastasis of breast cancer remaias controversial.
