Abstract:
There are a lot of feasibility studies, using sentinel lymph node biopsy SLNB instead of Alex lymph node dissection (ALND), having got a conseusus that SLNB is a safe and useful method in the treatment of breast cancer. But in clinical practice, there are much false negative rate (FNR) which need to be carefully dealt with for SLNB. In order to diminish the FNR, how many nodes should be the perfect number to lower the FNR? If positive detection was found in the SLN, should ALND always be needed? And when micro metastasis was found in the post operation HE staining? Does it need further treatment? We make a review to discuss those matters.
