[Sentinel lymph node-multicentric and multifocal tumors: a valid technique?]. Gynecol Obstet Fertil. 2015 Jun;43(6):443-8 Authors: Houvenaeghel G, Cohen M, Jauffret Fara C, Chéreau Ewald E, Bannier M, Rua Ribeiro S, Buttarelli M, Lambaudie E Abstract 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.
