Résumé

L’exploration chirurgicale de l’aisselle répond au double objectif de recueil d’information sur le statut des ganglions et de contrôle local en cas de ganglions métastatiques. Environ 30 % des cancers du sein T1 ou T2 sans adénopathie cliniquement palpable présentent un envahissement ganglionnaire [1], [2]. L’impact direct de ce geste axillaire sur la survie globale reste hypothétique. Jusque dans les années 1990, cette exploration chirurgicale était réalisée par curage axillaire limité aux étages I–II de BERG [3]. Depuis, il existe une désescalade thérapeutique avec d’une part l’avènement de la technique du ganglion axillaire sentinelle (GAS), d’autre part la mise en place d’outils d’aide à la décision de curage complémentaire chez les patientes dont le GAS est métastatique et enfin, plus récemment, la remise en question de l’intérêt du curage axillaire complémentaire en cas de GAS métastatique.
