Abstract
This study is the presentation of our practice regarding axillary management of node negative breast cancer patients. We tried axilloscopy, preoperative .ultrasonography, sentinel. , node biopsy and lipoaspiration of the axilla together with classical axillary dissection. Our results in axilloscopic sampling are encourging. Preoperative ultrasonographic imaging of the axilla proved to be a helpful method to increase the sensitivity of clinical examination of the axilla. Together with FNAC or preoperative lymphatic mapping, it may decrease the rate of. unnecessary dissections of the axilla. Further randomized, controlled trials are needed to put these recent methods into routine clinical applications. Classical axillary dissection still has a rule’ in conjunction with mastectomy and with significant nodal disease not amenable to irradiation treatment.
