title: [Evolution of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer--axillary staging in the past 15 years at the Uzsoki Street Hospital].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Sentinel biopsy technique was performed in Europe in 1996.It was a great improvement in the surgical treatment of breast cancer, it decreased the number of patients suffering from early and late morbidity following axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). In our paper we demonstrate the evolution of sentinel biopsy technique (SLNB), as well as the changes in our policy on axillary treatment in line with the European trends.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors of this article give an overview and analyse the relevant literature concerning sentinel lymph node biopsy and data of patients on whom sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2012.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Between 2001 and 2013 we performed 3756 breast operations, 2742 of those were done for malignant disease. Altogether we performed 744 sentinel lymph node biopsies in the Uzsoki teaching Hospital. The proportion of SLNB patients is increasing, it was 24.6% between 2001-2006 and 29.2% between 2007-2012, respectively. The indication of SLNB is widening, there might be justification of the technique even by multifocal or multilocular disease, in male patients, after former breats surgery or even in pregnant patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Histological examination of sentinel lymph node and its effect on complex treatment of breats cancer may place the role of surgical axillary staging in a brand new aspect in the near future perhaps.
