title: [Detection of the sentinel node by the surgeon].
abstract: The sentinel node is detected by blue dye, radiocolloïd injection or by combined techniques. Before performing selective lymphadenectomy, a complementary axillary clearance is mandatory during the learning phase. This axillary mini-invasive surgery requires a close collaboration with the nuclear physicians, the pathologists and a training under expert teams leadership.
