ABSTRACT: The role of surgery in breast cancer treatment and axillary staging is changing. It is not very far from today, when axillary dissection was the standard treatment and staging procedure for all stages of breast cancer.

In this review, we walked through the changes in axillary management throughout the past hundred years.
