Identification of Risk Factors Associated with Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis for Sentinel Lymph Node-Positive Breast Cancer Patients.

Conclusion: These results suggest that the number of positive SLNs, the SLN metastasis rate, and LVI are all significant predictors of ALN status in BC patients that have 1-2 positive SLNs and that have undergone ALND. In addition, HER2 overexpression was a significant predictor of N2 disease. PMID: 33456464 [PubMed]
