Résumé
Sentinel node (SN) biopsy is become a standard of care in breast cancer surgical practice. However, the advent of this technique, recently discussed during the 29th San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 2006, revealed new questions, which the concept of the SN procedure raises: can we increase the current indications? Could be axillary lymph node dissection avoided in patients with metastatic SN? the morbidity of the biopsy of the SN, which is the prognostic value of micrometastatis discovered by the diffusion of the ultra-stadification of the SNs?
