No sentinel lymph node removal with early-stage breast cancer?

Posted by texas5 @texas5, Nov 29, 2024

Treated at MSK where a new protocol to not remove sentinel node for early stage breast cancer is negative on Ultrasound.

Anyone have similar experience?

That’s very interesting. I wonder if there is a paper published that says that no sentinel lymph node needs to be removed in stage 1. What was the size of the tumour on histopathology ?

You can do a Google search on "Choosing Wisely Breast Cancer" and get lots of
hits. The surgonc org site is the most technical I've seen, but it's worth reading.
