Abstract
It has recently been reported that, using axillary reverse mapping (ARM), the lymphatics from the arm can be spared to reduce the incidence of breast-cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL). The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of selective axillary dissection (SAD) after using ARM and partially preserving arm drainage, and to assess the occurrence of BCRL.
