Abstract

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a procedure for lymphatic staging in early breast cancer. In a valid SLNB procedure, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) can be omitted in nodenegative caseswithout compromising patient safety. The SLNB technology has also dramatically improved the quality of life for women with breast cancer. This report details a brief history of SLNB, the main methods to identify sentinel node and how it was applied in the treatment of a breast cancer.

Résumé

La technique du ganglion sentinelle (GS) est une méthode fiable permettant une évaluation chirurgicale sélective de l’aisselle. Cette procédure permet également de réduire la morbidité du geste axillaire en comparaison au curage axillaire (CA). Cet article rappelle l’historique du développement de la procédure du GS, les méthodes de détection et les indications actuellement admises en France.
