Abstract

The risk of non-SN metastasis with a low-volume metastasis in the SN is around 10-15 per cent, depending on the method of detection of SN involvement. This should be taken into account when assessing the risk of omission of axillary dissection after a positive SN biopsy yielding micrometastatic or immunohistochemically positive SNs.
