Management of the Axilla in Patients With Invasive/In-Situ Breast Cancer

All patients with a clinically negative axilla for whom axillary staging would provide actionable or relevant information should be offered SLN biopsy. An example of a patient population for whom the results of SLNB may not impact systemic management are those with a high burden of comorbidities; in such patients, the decision to omit SLNB may be considered.
