Only axillarylymphnodedissection has an impact on quality of life.
2
Sentinel or full axillarylymphnodedissection was performed in 28 patients.
3
Patients underwent sentinel node surgery and completion axillarylymphnodedissection.
4
Of the 33 patients who underwent a mastectomy and axillarylymphnodedissection, five died from cancer recurrence.
5
We report on two FLSpCC patients treated with wide local excision and mastectomy associated with axillarylymphnodedissection.
6
Prospective studies are needed to confirm the prognostic impact of not performing axillarylymphnodedissection in such patients.
7
We have attempted to identify a sub-group of patients with invasive breast carcinoma who may not need to undergo axillarylymphnodedissection.
8
Twenty-eight patients were identified who had undergone a formal axillarylymphnodedissection followed by postoperative irradiation to the full axilla and supraclavicular fossa.
9
Estimates of the incidence of arm swelling after axillarylymphnodedissection for breast cancer range from 10 to 37%.
10
Axillary MRI findings were compared with the final pathogic results from axillarylymphnodedissection in all patients.
11
Background: Axillarylymphnodedissection is now no longer considered to be the standard treatment in all patients with invasive breast cancer.
