Abstract:Background
Understanding the factors influencing nodal status in breast cancer is vital for axillary staging, therapy, and patient survival. The nodal stage remains a crucial factor in prognostication indices. This study investigates the relationship between tumour-to-skin distance (in T1–T3 tumours where the skin is not clinically involved) and the risk of nodal metastasis.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed data from 100 patients who underwent neoadjuva… Show more
