## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Adjuvant therapy for women with T1βT2 breast carcinoma and 1β3 positive lymph nodes is controversial due to discrepancies in reported baseline locoregional recurrence (LRR) risks. This inconsistency has been attributed to variations in lymph node staging techniques, which
The relationship was assessed between c-erbB-2 oncoprotein expression and other prognostic factors in breast cancer, such as axillary and internal mammary node metastases. The value of these indicators was analyzed in estimating prognosis, especially in patients with axillary node-positive breast ca
Uncertainty exists regarding the magnitude of excess mortality from localized breast cancer at long followup times (>15 years) since diagnosis and regarding the effects of race and age as prognostic factors at all follow-up times. Long-term survival was determined in I141 patients (31 1 white, 830 b
