Sentinel lymph node biopsy compared with axillary lymph node dissection in early breast cancer: a meta-analysis

Abstract: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been recommended as the standard performance for negative sentinel lymph node (SLN) patients without axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in the surgical management of early breast cancer; however, the efficiency of SLNB for patients with positive SLNs is still unclear. We performed this meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and safety of SLNB with ALND. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SLNB with ALND in early breast cancer were identified in Pubmed, Emb… Show more

“…During the past decade, a paradigm shift has occurred in axillary staging, from a standard complete axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) for every breast cancer patient to a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in the group of patients with a clinically nonpalpable axillary lymph node [3][4][5]. The axillary lymph node has proven to have adequate prognostic value in breast cancer treatment because patients with stage I and II breast cancer have an axillary lymph node metastases incidence of only 20%-30% [6][7][8][9].…”

“…O presente estudo corrobora as evidências de alguns estudos de que a cirurgia conservadora para o CM, principalmente a biópsia de LS, possui impacto positivo na QV das pacientes [9][10][11] . Estudos apontam que a idade é um fator inversamente associado a QV, medo de recorrência e imagem corporal entre pacientes submetidas ao tratamento cirúrgico do CM 9,15 : quanto mais jovem a paciente, maior é a chance de escores ruins na avaliação da QV.…”

“…A avaliação da QV e da percepção subjetiva do estado de saúde tem sido objeto de valorização pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) há várias décadas e foi introduzida como objeto de pesquisa em diversas áreas da Medicina 7 . No que se refere ao CM, diversos estudos apontam a importância da QV na evolução das pacientes no período pós-cirúrgico [8][9][10][11] . Dados da literatura demonstram que o próprio tratamento do CM é capaz de acarretar consequências negativas na vida das pacientes -déficit nas funções cognitiva, social e emocional, mas há evidências que a QV é similar à população em geral após três anos do tratamento da doença 12 .…”
