Abstract
Aim of the experiment is to select patients with positive axillary lymph no des by means of the sentinel lymph node concept. In this way all other pati ents who would not benefit from a lymph node dissection are spared from thi s procedure and its morbidity. Till now the sentinel lymphadenectomy is, ho wever, still an experimental technic with yet unproven utility.
