Abstract

Axillary reverse mapping (ARM) is a technique by which the lymphatic drainage system of the upper extremities is mapped, so that the lymph channels and glands can be preserved during axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). This can lead to less postoperative morbidity, such as lymphoedema. A randomised multicentre study showed that there are statistically significantly fewer post-operative symptoms if the lymph channels and glands of the upper extremities are spared with this technique. Despite the declining indication for an ALND, ARM can have added value for the patients who do have to undergo ALND.
