What is the significance of sentinel lymph node?
A sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node that drains a cancer. If a cancer has not spread to the first draining lymph node near a cancer, there is a high likelihood it has not spread elsewhere.
What distinguishes a sentinel node from other nodes?
A sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node that drains a cancer. If a cancer has not spread to the first draining lymph node near a cancer, there is a high likelihood it has not spread elsewhere.
Is lymph carried in the cardiovascular system?
Yes, it is both carried through the cardiovascular system, and through the lymphatics. Basically, lymph will first flow through the blood in arteries to the lymph node, then from the lymph node to the lymphatics.

How can breast cancer spread to axilla?
The first station for the spread of breast cancer is the lymph nodes in the axilla then to the lymph nodes in the neck. If a patient has a biopsy it is not uncommon to have a test on the lymphnodes there.
What are the most common sites for mestastic breast cancer?
Breast cancer most commonly metastasises first to lymph nodes in the axilla of the same side as the affected breast. In more advanced disease, the cancer commonly metastasises to lymph nodes in other regions, to bone, to the liver, and/or to the lungs, and later possibly also to the contralateral breast and to other organs. When there is no evident lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis, the sentinel node may be examined to confirm absence of axillary lymph node metastasis. The lymph nodes in the axilla drain fluid (lymph) from the breast by interconnecting lymph vessels, and the "sentinel node" is the first node to receive lymph from the particular tumour. If there is no tumour in the sentinel node (and no signs of metastasis to other sites), breast cancer has a very good chance of cure after treatment.
