## Background: Axillary lymph node metastases (alnm) are the most important predictor of survival in patients with t1 breast carcinoma. due to a relatively low incidence of axillary metastasis in tumors < or = 2 cm, the role of axillary lymph node dissection for these patients has been questioned.
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Axillary lymph node involvement (ALNI) remains the most accurate predictive factor for recurrence risk and survival in patients with invasive breast carcinoma (IBC) and is an essential element in therapeutic decisions. However, axillary dissection (AD) is responsible for
## BACKGROUND. Over the past 20 years the proportion of invasive breast carcinomas measuring ี 1 cm has increased progressively. Information regarding the effect of clinical and histologic characteristics on the frequency of lymph node metastases associated with small invasive breast carcinomas is
