Axillary Lymph Node Dissection

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has been a cornerstone of the management of breast cancer since the Halstedian era of radical mastectomy. ALND found its place due to the prevailing concepts of anatomic, sequential, breast cancer progression, as well as the somewhat predictable nature of the lymphatic drainage system of the breast. The removal of ipsilateral axillary nodes was employed to obtain maximum cure, regional control of lymph node metastases, and the most accurate breast cancer staging. This chapter reviews the indications and technique for an axillary node dissection.
