The association between lymph node status and the tumor size in breast cancer – results from the Danish Breast Cancer Group (DBCG)
Increasing tumor size is the only time-dependent risk of LNM. HER2 positive tumors had an increased risk of LNM, and ER negative/HER2 negative tumors had a decreased risk of LNM. LVI was associated with substantial increased risk of LNM. The knowledge of breast cancer patient and tumor characteristics at a given time may predict stage of cancer at an earlier time.
