Problem:The number of positive axillary lymph nodes predicts prognosis and is often important in determining adjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. This study was undertaken to determine if differences in the extent of axillary node dissection would alter the number of reported positive nodes.', "The study population consisted of 302 patients with invasive breast cancer who underwent complete (level I/II/III) axillary lymph node dissection. Assuming that all patients had undergone a level I/II dissection, it was determined how frequently a patient's nodal category (0, 1-3, 4-9, >10 positive nodes) would have been altered if a level I or level I/II/III dissection were performed.", 'Assuming that all 302 patients had undergone a level I/II dissection, performing only level I dissection would have resulted in a change in nodal category in 15.9% of all patients and 36.1% of patients with positive nodes. The corresponding changes for a level I/II/III dissection would have been 4.3% and 9.5%, respectively.
Solution:
Does variation in axillary node dissection influence the degree of nodal involvement in breast cancer patients?
