Abstract

The treatment trend in breast cancer is shifting from maximum tolerable to minimum effective treatment1. Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) causes significant morbidity in women including upper-extremity lymphedema, pain, shoulder range of motion  impairment, and numbness or paraesthesia2,3.

Sentinel lymph node (SLNB) biopsy is an alternate to ALND for negative axillary nodes. Intra-operative evaluation of sentinel nodes (SLN) allows complete ALND during the primary surgery itself, hence, obviating the need for a second surgery
