Discussion of Relationships among Changes of Pathological Indicators, Postoperative Lymphedema of the Upper Limb and Prognosis of Breast Cancer Patients.

CONCLUSION: Patients with lymph node metastasis were more prone to lymphedema of the upper limb, while it was easier for those whose Ki-67 expression level was high and who were not subject to lymph node metastasis to get a pathological complete response after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapies. The prognosis was poorer among patients whose progesterone receptors were negative and Ki-67 expression levels were high at the advanced pTNM stage. PMID: 30902883 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
