Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> This review provides historical and current data to support the role of imaging-based axillary lymph node staging and sentinel lymph node biopsy as the standard of care for axillary management in women with a diagnosis of breast cancer, before and after neoadjuvant systemic therapy. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> The implications of surgical trials (American College of Surgeons Oncology Group [ACOSOG] Z011 and ACOSOG Z1071) on imaging protocols for the axilla are reviewed, in conjunction with the American Joint Committee on Cancer nodal staging guidelines.
