Abstract Axillary evaluation is a major step in the initial
staging of breast cancer. Ultrasound guided biopsy is currently recommended in first-line. MRI and 18FDG PET/CT

sentinel node technique is essential in case of T1-T2 N0
mammary tumors and in case of suspected lymph node adenopathy with negative cytopuncture or microbiopsy.
