Axillary dissection is crucial for cancer staging and local control. Sentinel lymph node biopsy guides the decision for axillary lymphadenectomy to minimize morbidity in breast cancer and melanoma patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Cancer Staging

Context:

  • Axillary lymph node status is a critical prognostic factor in various solid malignancies, including breast cancer and malignant melanoma.
  • Axillary lymphadenectomy, while effective for local tumor control and staging, is associated with significant morbidity.
  • Current practice limits axillary lymphadenectomy to cases with confirmed metastasis in the sentinel lymph node.

Purpose:

  • To present the surgical technique of axillary dissection.
  • To summarize the complications associated with axillary dissection.
  • To review the oncologic outcomes following axillary dissection for breast carcinoma and malignant melanoma.

Summary:

  • Axillary dissection plays a vital role in achieving local tumor control and accurate cancer staging.

  • The decision for axillary lymphadenectomy is primarily determined by sentinel lymph node metastasis, aiming to reduce patient morbidity.
  • This review details the surgical methodology, potential complications, and oncologic results of axillary dissection in breast cancer and malignant melanoma.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of axillary dissection techniques and outcomes.
    • Informs clinical decision-making regarding the extent of axillary surgery based on sentinel lymph node status.
    • Contributes to optimizing patient management and improving oncologic outcomes in solid malignancies requiring nodal assessment.
