Although the incidence of breast cancer increases every year, when early-stage breast cancer patients undergo standardized treatment, their five-year survival rate can be as high as over 90%. With the rapid development of modern medical and treatment technologies, life expectancy of breast cancer patients has markedly increased. It should be considered that treating breast cancer lies not only in extending the survival time of patients, but also in improving their quality of life, reducing postoperative complications, and increasing disease-free survival timeBased on MALND, the author proposes a non-lipolytic Suspension-type Mastoscopic Axillary Lymph Node Dissection (SMALND) and analyzed and compared breast cancer patients in the SMALND and MALND Groups in terms of postoperative axillary mean daily drainage volume, axillary mean drain removal time, incidence rates of upper limb edema, and paresthesia.
