Axillary Node Biopsy and Dissection

Axillary node biopsy and dissection is a surgical procedure to remove lymph nodes from the armpit (axillary area) to check for the spread of cancer, most commonly in breast cancer patients.

Axillary Node Dissection

Axillary node dissection is a more extensive surgery in which many or all of the lymph nodes in the axillary area are removed. This is usually done if cancer is found in the lymph nodes, to help prevent further spread and to help stage the cancer.

Lymph Node Nissection

Lymph node nissection is a broader term that refers to the removal of lymph nodes from any part of the body to examine for cancer spread. This procedure may be performed in various areas, such as the neck, groin, or abdomen, depending on the location of the primary tumor. It helps in determining the extent of cancer and planning further treatment.
