Abstract

This article provides a brief account of the recent evolution of the highly controversial surgical management of the positive axilla in patients with breast cancer, an issue still open to disparate surgical procedures. This short review highlights the reports that supply the rationale for current trends in reducing the aggressiveness of this surgery and discusses the course of the trials still in progress pointing in the same direction, thus supporting the principle of not performing axillary lymph node dissection for staging purposes alone.

Keywords:
Axillary lymph node dissection
Sentinel lymph node biopsy
Neoadjuvant systemic therapy
Targeted axillary dissection
De-escalating axillary surgery
Resumen

Este artículo es un breve resumen de la reciente evolución del controvertido tratamiento quirúrgico de la axila en pacientes con cáncer de mama, que sigue estando abierto a procedimientos quirúrgicos demasiado dispares. Esta corta revisión destaca las publicaciones que constituyen la base lógica de las tendencias actuales hacia la reducción de la agresividad quirúrgica y recalca los ensayos clínicos aún en progreso apuntando en esta misma dirección, apoyando así el principio de evitar la linfadenectomía axilar solo por razones de estadiaje.

Palabras clave:
Linfadenectomía axilar
Biopsia de ganglio centinela
Tratamiento sistémico neoadyuvante
Disección axilar dirigida
Desescalando la cirugía axilar
