Abstract

The status of axillary lymph nodes is one of the most important prognostic factors in breast cancer. Thus, sentinel lymph node biopsy is a standard in current management for axillary staging. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) plays an important role in the treatment of breast cancer, and it has been established that getting a complete pathological response in both the breast and the axilla is a predictor for disease-free and overall survival. Currently, the use of SLN biopsy after treatment with NAC in patients with clinically positive lymph nodes is controversial; thus, there are multiple techniques for its adequate detection and reduction of false negative rates. A literature search was conducted in the two most important bibliographic databases as sources for clinical trials. Joint meetings were held between the functional units for breast and soft tissue tumors, pathology, and radiology to establish the requirements to perform sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy at the National Cancer Institute of Colombia.
