Minimize the extent and morbidity of axillary dissection for node-positive breast cancer patients: Implementation of axillary lymph node dissection based on breast lymphatics level

Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is associated with extensive axillary dissection. Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) based on breast lymphatics level (BLL) was proposed to minimize the surgical extent for node-positive breast cancer patients.
