Abstract

Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has traditionally been considered as a standard procedure in the surgical management of patients with breast cancer. The advantages of ALND in breast cancer surgery are to stage the disease, to provide accurate prognostic information, to maintain local control in the axilla and to provide a rational decision-making about adjuvant systemic therapy. Although controversial, ALND may also be associated with a small survival benefit. Recently, the question of whether ALND is needed for every patient with invasive breast cancer has been the subject of ongoing debate in the literature. The changes in the presentation and management of breast cancer (i.e., increased detection of very small breast cancers during mammographic screening, use of adjuvant systemic therapy for women with both node-positive and node-negative breast cancer, and a greater recognition of the morbidity of ALND) have prompted a re-evaluation of the need for routine ALND. More conservative techniques such as sentinel lymph node biopsy can also accurately predict nodal status with minimal morbidity, and reserves ALND for patients with positive sentinel lymph node biopsies.

Özet

Aksiller lenf nodu disseksiyonu (ALND) meme kanserinin cerrahi tedavisinde uzun süreden beri uygulanan standart bir girişimdir. Aksiller lenf nodu disseksiyonunun avantajları hastalığın evrelendirilmesi, daha doğru bir prognoz tahminin yapılabilmesi, aksillada lokal kontrolün sağlanması ve adjuvan sistemik tedaviye karar vermede yardımcı olmasıdır. Tartışmalı olmakla birlikte ufak bir sağkalım avantajı da sağlayabilmektedir. İnvazif meme kanseri olan her hastaya ALND yapılıp yapılmamasının gerekliliği son yıllarda literatürde oldukça sık sorgulanmaya başlanmıştır. Meme kanserinin prezentasyonu ve tedavisindeki değişiklikler (örneğin mamografi taramaları sonucunda birçok meme kanserinin daha erken evrede yakalanması, adjuvan sistemik tedavinin hem nod-pozitif hem de nod-negatif hastalarda kullanılması ve ALND sonrası oluşan morbiditenin daha iyi anlaşılması) sayesinde her hastada rutin ALND gerekiyor mu sorusu literatürde sıkça tartışılır olmuştur. Sentinel lenf nodu biyopsisi gibi daha konzervatif girişimler aksillanın nodal durumunu minimal morbiditeye yol açarak, doğru bir şekilde ortaya koymaktadır ve ALND sentinel lenf nodu pozitif olan hastalarda önerilmektedir.
