Meanings of axillary node in English

A wide local excision and axillary node dissection was performed.

Breast-conserving surgery with axillary node dissection was performed.

Introduction: Lymphedema is an under-reported and debilitating consequence of axillary node dissection among breast cancer survivors.

Background: In breast cancer patients with only extra-axillary sentinel nodes, surgeons typically perform axillary node dissection.

Also, CD concentrations did not correlate with either tumor stage or axillary node status but did correlate significantly with tumor grade.

In 748 of them, 755 sentinel node biopsies did not reveal a tumor-positive sentinel node and they did not undergo axillary node dissection.

A single axillary node was detected in 110, two axillary nodes were detected in 10, and no axillary node was detected in three patients.

Results: BM DTCs were detected in 94 of 621 stage I-III breast cancer patients (15%) and were not associated with axillary node status.

All patients had invasive breast cancer with known tumor size and with some axillary nodes pathologically examined.

SLNB was compared with standard axillary dissection for its ability to reflect the final pathological status of the axillary nodes.

Among those 10 patients in whom two axillary nodes were seen, at least two cases of discordant drainage occurred from different injection sites.

Conclusions: Cortical thickness of greater than 3.5 mm in the most suspicious nodes is appropriately predictive of patients with 3 or more tumor-involved axillary nodes.
