Axillary lymph node drainage appears to be an important prognostic factor.(for breast cancer)
2003 APR 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Axillary lymph node drainage appears to be an important prognostic factor.
According to recent research from Hungary, "Axillary lymph node staging is an important prognostic factor in patients with breast cancer. The longterm survival is poor if the number of metastatic axillary lymph nodes exceeds 3. With 1-3 metastatic lymph nodes, survival in 30% of the patients is 20 years.
"The markedly different outcome of these patients with metastatic axillary lymph nodes suggests that other factors likely play a critical role in breast cancer dissemination. In this study, we examined the association of impaired axillary lymph drainage with breast cancer survival. Fifty patients with breast cancer underwent direct breast lymphography before treatment to evaluate the status of ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes and lymph drainage at time of presentation. Twenty-five patients with signs of metastatic disease and/or impaired lymph drainage were followed for 10 years. Seven of 25 patients survived 10 years; 6 are tumor free; and 1 has distant metastasis. The other 18 patients died during the 10 yr period. Seventeen of the 18 died from disseminated breast cancer, 1 died of ...
