Zusammenfassung

Purpose: Early breast cancer presents with a remarkable heterogeneity of outcomes. Undetected, microscopic lymph node tumor deposits may account for a significant fraction of this prognostic diversity. About 10% of nodal negative patients may represent OTC/MM in axillary nodes (Querlozi et al. 2006). So, axillary nodes were investigated immunohistochemically. OTC were defined as tumor cell deposits within the nodes measuring 0.2mm, but
