Rua Ribeiro , M. Buttarelli , E. Lambaudie Sentinel node biopsy without complementary axillary lymph node dissection was validated for T1-2 N0 unifocal breast cancer without previous treatment since several years. In the situation of multifocal multicentric breast tumors, this procedure was considered as a contraindication. The aim of this work was to analyse literature results to determine if sentinel lymph node biopsy can be considered as a valid option without complementary axillary lymph node dissection for negative sentinel lymph node.
