Quantifying the number of lymph nodes for examination in breast cancer

Abstract: Objective Examining the correct number of lymph nodes when diagnosing breast cancer invasion is still a problem. This work aimed to develop a qualification model that estimates the possibility of missing nodes and the number of lymph nodes that need to be examined. Methods By analyzing lymph node invasion of 303,760 breast cancer samples with primary tumor stage and the number of examined and positive lymph nodes from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database using a beta-binomial model, the numb… Show more

“…However, the reasons for the heterogeneity in lymph node sampling may include the surgical competence and/or pathologist related variables. But in a variety of tumors, quantification of lymph nodes has been studied extensively [37][38][39]. However, few recommendations [40] have been made for the number of lymph nodes in the thyroid.…”
