前哨淋巴结活检作为早期乳腺癌患者腋窝淋巴结分期的手段已被肿瘤学界普遍接受，而且对前哨淋巴结阴性患者可以避免腋窝淋巴结清扫术带来的不良后果。随着前哨淋巴结活检技术的发展，其适应证不断扩大，但该方法在新辅助化疗乳腺癌患者中的应用目前尚有争议。本文对新辅助化疗乳腺癌患者前哨淋巴结活检的可行性及时机选择进行综述。

Sentinel lymph node biopsy has been generally accepted as a method for nodal staging in patients with early-stage breast cancer. Patients with negative results of sentinel lymph node biopsy can avoid axillary lymph node dissection and its adverse outcomes. With the development of technology,the in-dications of sentinel lymph node biopsy expand,but its appliance in breast cancer patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy still remains controversial. This paper reviews the feasibility and timing of sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
