Meanings of axillary lymph node dissection in anglès

Only axillary lymph node dissection has an impact on quality of life.

Sentinel or full axillary lymph node dissection was performed in 28 patients.

Patients underwent sentinel node surgery and completion axillary lymph node dissection.

Of the 33 patients who underwent a mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection, five died from cancer recurrence.

We report on two FLSpCC patients treated with wide local excision and mastectomy associated with axillary lymph node dissection.

Prospective studies are needed to confirm the prognostic impact of not performing axillary lymph node dissection in such patients.

We have attempted to identify a sub-group of patients with invasive breast carcinoma who may not need to undergo axillary lymph node dissection.

Twenty-eight patients were identified who had undergone a formal axillary lymph node dissection followed by postoperative irradiation to the full axilla and supraclavicular fossa.

Estimates of the incidence of arm swelling after axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer range from 10 to 37%.

Axillary MRI findings were compared with the final pathogic results from axillary lymph node dissection in all patients.

Background: Axillary lymph node dissection is now no longer considered to be the standard treatment in all patients with invasive breast cancer.
