Abstract
The surgical management of breast cancer has evolved gradually over the past century from the exclusive use of radical mastectomy to the current practice of segmental mastectomy and radiation therapy. This less aggressive surgical approach in the management of breast cancer extended to treatment of the axilla. The latter led to the recent introduction and subsequent acceptance of lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy as an alternative strategy to the routine use of formal levels I and II axillary dissection in clinically node-negative patients.
