AXILLARY LYMPH NODE METASTASIS STATUS IN INVASIVE LOBULAR BREAST CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To improve the quality of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for breast cancer in general and invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) in particular. Subjects and Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study on 167 ILC patients who underwent a mastectomy at K Hospital from January 2019 to July 2023. Results: The rate of axillary lymph node metastasis were 63.5%. The type accounted for the highest rate with the polymorphic, accounting for 82.9%. Several factors such as histological grades, hormone receptors, and tumor size are associated with axillary lymph node metastasis in ILC. Conclusion: Axillary lymph node metastasis in ILC is common; the larger the tumor, the higher the rate of lymph node metastasis. Axillary lymph node metastasis is also related to hormone receptor status and tumor grading.
