Abstract

The prognostic value of sentinel lymph node (SLN) micro‐metastases and the question whether patients with SLN micro‐metastases should undergo axillary lymph node dissection remain a matter of great debate. Based on the current literature and on our own data, we provide suggestive evidence that SLN micro‐metastases in early stage breast cancer patients appear to have prognostic value and should impact the decision‐making regarding adjuvant therapy, however, do not necessarily require further surgical treatment.
