How Many Sentinel Lymph Nodes are Enough During Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection for Breast Cancer?
Background: It remains unclear how many sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) must be removed to accurately predict lymph node status during SLN dissection in breast cancer. The objective of this study was to determine how many SLNs need to be removed for accurate lymph node staging and which patient and tumor characteristics influence this number.
