Axillary Lymph Node Dissection

Axillary Lymph Node Dissection

Health Care - Hospital and Clinics

Service Description

ALND can remove lymph nodes located below, above or underneath a muscle that runs along the side of the upper chest- this muscle is known as the pectoralis minor muscle.

There are three levels of axillary lymph nodes and possible solutions for a surgeon-

Level I — remove all the tissue below the muscle

Level II — remove the tissue directly underneath the muscle

Level III — remove the tissue that is above the muscle (this is the most aggressive surgery)

Cancer cells are usually removed from the breast at the same time as ALND.
