## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Multicentric breast carcinomas have a higher frequency of axillary lymph node metastasis than unifocal tumors of similar stage. It remains unclear whether this merely reflects larger tumor volumes or a different biologic behavior. The authors have shown previously that wh
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND It has long been known that both tumor size and the presence of malignant disease in the regional lymph nodes are indicators of outcome for patients with invasive breast carcinoma; however, the way in which these two characteristics could be integrated into an overall ass
## Abstract ## Background Ideally, intraoperative sentinel lymph node (SLN) analysis in breast cancer should be automated, have high concordance with extensive histopathology, and be applicable in any hospital setting. A prospective multicentre evaluation of the one-step nucleic acid amplification
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND A positive correlation between breast tumor size and the number of axillary lymph nodes containing tumor is well established. It has been reported that patients with __BRCA1__βrelated breast carcinoma are more likely than patients with nonhereditary breast carcinoma to ha
