## Abstract A detailed histological study of the axillary nodes from 98 breast carcinoma patients, in which 5 and 10 year followβup data was available, has been undertaken. The presence of tumour cells in efferent vessels appears to be the only factor which is a marker of poor prognosis. Contrary t
