Axillary lymph node dissection in ca breast

Q: Which of the following statements is most accurate regarding axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in breast cancer staging?

a) Level I and level II ALND requires the removal of at least 10 lymph nodes for accurate staging, and level III nodes should always be included in the dissection, regardless of the presence of gross disease in levels I and II.
b) The axillary dissection should include tissue from levels I and II, with a focus on the area inferior to the axillary vein, extending laterally to the latissimus dorsi muscle and medially to the pectoralis minor muscle, when there is no gross disease in level II nodes.
c) Level III nodes should be dissected in all cases of breast cancer for accurate staging, as they are always involved in metastatic spread.
d) Level I and level II ALND can be skipped in cases of clinically negative axilla, as there is no need for lymph node evaluation in the absence of suspicion of metastasis.
