Tumor size and axillary metastasis, a correlative occurrence in 1244 cases of breast cancer between 1980 and 1995

A review of 1244 breast cancer cases from the Tumor Registry of Northwest Community Hospital between 1980 and 1995 was carried out to investigate the incidence of axillary metastasis. There were 442 patients (35.45%) with positive nodes. The small lesions were graded to ascertain if size and grade o...

Zusammenfassung:	A review of 1244 breast cancer cases from the Tumor Registry of Northwest Community Hospital between 1980 and 1995 was carried out to investigate the incidence of axillary metastasis. There were 442 patients (35.45%) with positive nodes. The small lesions were graded to ascertain if size and grade of small tumors can be used to predict axillary metastasis. One hundred and seventy-nine cases of ⩽1.0 cm were retrospectively reviewed by one pathologist. Tumors
