Axillary staging is an important prognostic factor in breast cancer, being sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) the gold standard staging method in early stages. However, in clinically node positive (cN+) patients who converted to clinically node-negative (cN0) after primary systemic therapy (PST) the axillary staging method during surgery remains controversial. There are at least three validated methods: SLNB, targeted axillary dissection (TAD) and marking axillary nodes with radioactive iodine seeds (MARI) procedure. Our house believe that the biopsied and clipped lymph node could predict response to systemic treatment.
