| Zusammenfassung: | Sentinel node biopsy has dramatically altered the treatment of breast cancer worldwide. The author's investigation into its use in breast cancer began nearly 30 years ago and evolved from simply identifying a node predictive of the axillary status to being a therapeutic procedure eliminating axillary dissection for selected node‐negative and some node‐positive women. This paper summarizes a personal experience with the evolution of this technique. |
