Summary:(Conclusion) This researching, and many others, indicates that in certain patients (especially T1a and T1b), under precise criteria, when SN metastases are not present, axillary dissection in the breast cancer (10, 22) and all its consequences (lymphoedeama, numbness, pain, limited movement in the shoulder joint) could be avoided.
