Micrometastatic node-positive breast cancer: an analysis of survival outcomes and prognostic impact of the number of positive nodes and the ratio of positive to excised nodes in comparison to node-negative and macrometastatic node-positive breast cancer

Micrometastatic node-positive breast cancer: an analysis of survival outcomes and prognostic impact of the number of positive nodes and the ratio of positive to excised nodes in comparison to node-negative and macrometastatic node-positive breast cancer

In this study, we examined survival for patients with micrometastases greater than 0.2mm but less than 2mm (pN1a) in comparison to node-negative (pN0) and macrometastatic node-positive (pN1b) patients. Data for patients diagnosed from 1988 to 1998 with TNM pathological T1-2 stage, pN0, and pN1a-b br...
