News Covered by Medical Dialogue: Sentinel lymph node biopsy versus complete axillary dissection in breast cancer
Dr. Nandita Mohan explores a prospective cohort study assessing oncological outcomes and postoperative complications in breast cancer patients undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) versus complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), published article in the Indian Journal of Medical Sciences. Analyzing outcomes from 160 patients, the study found that SLNB was associated with significantly fewer complications, including reduced rates of lymphedema, compared to ALND. Older age, T2 tumor stage, and ALND were identified as risk factors for postoperative complications. The findings highlight the advantages of SLNB as a staging technique in early breast cancer management. The Indian Journal of Medical Sciences is published by Scientific Scholar.
