Sentinel node biopsy in patients with multifocal and multicentric breast cancer: A 5-year follow-up

Predictive Factors for Non–Sentinel Lymph Node Metastasis in Patients With Clinically Node-Negative Ipsilateral Multiple Breast Cancer Treated With Total Mastectomy

“…These results suggest that the risk of axillary failure with ALND sparing surgery may also be similar for multifocal and multicentric breast cancer patients. Blanco et al 14 reported that SNs were successfully identified in both multifocal and multicentric breast cancer patients and that there were no cases of axillary relapse during a 5-year followup period, but they did not show any data on non-SN metastasis.…”
