Abstract

Throughout the history, mammary cancer surgical treatment has included the extraction of the mammary tumor complemented with one of the “biggest pillars”, i.e., the complete extraction of the axillar lymphatic ganglia, commonly named Radical Axillar Dissection. The current tendency with respect to the tumor resection has had a conservative inclination going from quadrantectomy to even simple tumorectomies, in some specific cases. As for the axilla, the same process is taking place; there are many forms of making limphadenectomies more and more selective and conservative, being used the Sentinel Ganglia Biopsy as main stage to determine if it is necessary or not to make the axillar ganglia dissection, in cases it is indicated. In this review we carried out an study of the origins, technical particularities, indications, counterindications, results, etc. of the Sentinel Ganglia Biopsy, with the objective of giving an actualization of the “art status” of the theme
