The recent introduction of intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLND) represents a major new opportunity for appropriate and less invasive surgical management of many tumors. There is an almost uniformly enthusiasm concerning the potential of this technique in breast carcinoma management, shown by published data. A peculiar attention to the so-called \u201csentinel node debate\u201d in breast cancer surgery is a constant in the last years issues of the major medical journals. Even patients have become more aware about medical enthusiasm and their request of concise information on the topic and the possibilities of this approach is an increasing reality in medical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The aim of this paper is to review recent literature to offer an overview about the main controversial methodological aspects and a wide analysis of reported results. The most significative international literature papers from Medline were retrieved from 1993 to September 1999, and 4782 procedures were analysed. This extensive review of the literature has confirmed accuracy, feasibility and reliability of the SN detecting technique in axillary mapping. Provided a good proficiency in SN localisation and pathological evaluation, human resources and efforts should be mainly focused on its clinical validation as an alternative to ALND instead of on further phase I\u2013-II clinical studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/030089169908500602","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,17]],"date-time":"2018-04-17T05:48:29Z","timestamp":1523944109000},"page":"425-434","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping and Biopsy for Breast Cancer: A Review of the Literature Relative to 4791 Procedures"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Sergio","family":"Sandrucci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Oncologia, Unit\u00e0 Operativa di Chirurgia Esofagea ed Oncologica, ASO San Giovanni Battista, Turin;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paola Sorba","family":"Casalegno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Oncologia, Unit\u00e0 Operativa di Chirurgia Esofagea ed Oncologica, ASO San Giovanni Battista, Turin;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pierluigi","family":"Percivale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento Oncologia, Genetica e Biologia, Unit\u00e0 Operativa Oncologia Chirurgica, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Genova, e Dipartimento di Chirurgia IST, Genua;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marinella","family":"Mistrangelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Oncologia, Unit\u00e0 Operativa di Chirurgia Esofagea ed Oncologica, ASO San Giovanni Battista, Turin;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emilio","family":"Bombardieri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit\u00e0 Operativa di Medicina Nucleare, Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Bertoglio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento Oncologia, Genetica e Biologia, Unit\u00e0 Operativa Oncologia Chirurgica, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Genova, e Dipartimento di Chirurgia IST, Genua;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-030089169908500602","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199901283400414"},{"key":"bibr2-030089169908500602","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1996.03540220042028"},{"key":"bibr3-030089169908500602","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1055-3207(18)30403-4"},{"key":"bibr4-030089169908500602","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02303845"},{"key":"bibr5-030089169908500602","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1055-3207(18)30199-6"},{"key":"bibr6-030089169908500602","first-page":"599","volume":"318","author":"Beechey-Newman N.","year":"1999","journal-title":"Value is already proved.
