Abstract Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been the standard axillary intervention for breast cancer patients with clinical negative axillary lymph nodes. Complete axillary dissection could be omitted for patients with negative sentinel lymph nodes. While, the optimal axillary intervention for patients with 1-2 positive sentinel lymph nodes remained controversial. This review introduced the latest research results of the axillary management for early stage breast cancer patients with 1-2 positive sentinel lymph nodes.
