Lymph node surgery is a procedure that removes lymph nodes to check whether breast cancer has spread beyond the breast. It helps determine how advanced the cancer is, which guides your treatment plan. This is often done through a Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy or Axillary Node Clearance.
A sentinel lymph node biopsy involves removing the first lymph node(s) that breast cancer is most likely to spread to. It is a minimally invasive procedure used to determine if cancer has reached the lymph nodes. If no cancer is found, further surgery may not be needed.
If cancer is detected in the sentinel lymph nodes, additional surgery, such as Axillary Node Clearance, may be recommended to remove more lymph nodes. Your medical team will also discuss further treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy to address the spread of cancer.
Axillary node clearance involves removing multiple lymph nodes from the underarm area if cancer has been detected in the sentinel nodes. This procedure helps prevent the cancer from spreading and allows for a more comprehensive assessment of its extent
Most patients experience mild discomfort after lymph node surgery. Any pain or discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed pain relief. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help manage any discomfort during recovery.
Recovery from lymph node surgery varies depending on the type of surgery. Most people can return to light activities within a few days, but full recovery may take several weeks. Your surgeon will advise on activity restrictions and follow-up care to ensure proper healing.
Lymph node surgery carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, and lymphedema (swelling of the arm due to fluid build-up). However, these risks are minimised with proper surgical techniques and aftercare.
Lymphedema is swelling caused by the removal of lymph nodes, leading to fluid build-up in the arm. It can be managed with physical therapy, compression garments, and exercises to encourage drainage and reduce swelling.
If cancer is found in your lymph nodes, your treatment plan may include chemotherapy or radiotherapy to ensure the cancer is fully treated. Your oncologist will discuss the best approach based on the extent of the cancer and your overall health.
