## 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.
## 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
## BACKGROUND. Routine histologic examination of axillary sentinel lymph nodes predicts axillary lymph node status and may spare patients with breast carcinoma axillary lymph node dissection. To avoid the need for two separate surgical sessions, the results of sentinel lymph node examination shoul
## BACKGROUND. The prognosis of patients with T1 breast carcinoma remains controversial. Some studies have shown a low risk of lymph node metastasis and distant failure whereas others have not, possibly due to differences in the definition of tumor size. In this study, the authors assessed the rel
