Axillary Management Updates in Breast Cancer Patients
Mary Mrdutt, MD, FACS
A 55 year old female returns to your clinic for surgical planning. She was diagnosed with a cT2N1 grade 3 triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma of her right breast after self palpating a mass. A suspicious right axillary lymph node was biopsied and found to be involved. She was treated with neoadjuvant therapy according to the Keynote 522 regimen with excellent clinical and radiologic response in the breast and axilla. Which of the following would NOT be an acceptable approach to axillary surgery for this patient?

Targeted sentinel lymph node biopsy with seed localization of the previously clipped axillary lymph node

Axillary dissection as no preoperative clip was placed at the time of axillary lymph node biopsy.

These are all reasonable approaches to the post-neoadjuvant axilla

Dual tracer sentinel lymph node biopsy as no preoperative clip was placed at time of axillary lymph node biopsy
