ABSTRACT
Axillary management in breast cancer is still controversial. Recent clinical trials have clearly demonstrated that in breast-conserving surgery, axillary dissection could be an overtreatment when metastases are present in only 1-2 sentinel lymph nodes. Nonetheless, axillary dissection remains the principal treatment in patients undergoing mastectomy with at least one metastatic sentinel lymph node and in patients eligible for breast conserving surgery with three or more positive sentinel lymph nodes. In this analytical review, we discuss the clinical evidence, taking into account recent guidelines, for axillary management.
