Lymphatic metastasis is the main prognostic factor for survival of patients with breast cancer
and other epithelial malignancies. Mounting clinical and experimental data suggest that …

Purpose To evaluate the prognostic value of maximum standardized uptake values (SUV
max) measured in the primary lesion and axillary lymph nodes (ALN) by pretreatment …

Despite advances in treatment, up to 30% of patients with early breast cancer (BC)
experience distant disease relapse. However, a comprehensive understanding of tumor …

Objective: To establish a radiomics nomogram by integrating clinical risk factors and
radiomics features extracted from digital mammography (MG) images for pre-operative …

Aim Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) of the breast are
distinct morphological entities with different biological features and clinical behaviour. In the …

Background The status of the axillary lymph nodes in nonmetastatic lymph node-positive
breast cancer (BC) patients remains the single most important determinant of overall survival …

Due to the heterogeneity of lymph node examination and the conflicting results existing for
the same classification of lymph node ratio (LNR), it is necessary to conduct a meta-analysis …

The number of positive axillary nodes is a strong prognostic factor in breast cancer, but is
affected by variability in nodal staging technique yielding varying numbers of excised nodes …

Past The role of post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in patients with tumor< 5 cm and one
to three positive lymph nodes after axillary dissection (ALND) is vigorously debated. Initial …

Background: To assess the prognostic capability of the maximum standardized uptake
values (SUV max) measured in the primary tumor and axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) by …
