Abstract
Regional lymph node status is an important prognostic factor for patients with breast cancer and melanoma. Sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) is used to determine lymph node status in the surgical staging of the clinically negative axilla in patients with clinical stage I, stage IIA, stage IIB, or stage IIIA T3, N1, M0 breast cancer. SLND is also indicated in patients with melanoma with Breslow depth > 1 mm. For breast cancer and melanoma patients in need of surgical staging of regional lymph nodes, SLND has significantly lowered the rates of surgical complications and morbidity compared to the more invasive complete lymph node dissection.
