\f0\fs24 \cf0 >>> DR. JAY K. HARNESS: What is axillary? Well, the axilla is the armpit
area. Doctors usually use nice medical terms like \'91axilla\'92 instead of armpit, and
so if we talk about axillary we mean in the axilla or armpit area, and so typically that
term is used to talk about taking out lymph nodes. So a term that we often use is called
\'91axillary lymph node biopsy\'92 or \'91axillary lymph node dissection\'92. \
\ The word \'91dissection\'92 means removing,
whether it\'92s lymph nodes, or a tumor, or whatever. So \'91axillary\'92 means in the
axilla or the armpit area. \ \
