Prognostic Significance of Isolated Tumor Cells and the Role of Immunohistochemistry in Nodal Evaluation in Breast Cancer: A SEER-Based Analysis and Reappraisal

ITCs are associated with worse BCSS and OS despite classification as node-negative. Omitting IHC may obscure their detection. Incorporating IHC into routine nodal evaluation may enhance prognostic assessment and guide treatment decisions.

Abstract

ITCs are associated with worse BCSS and OS despite classification as node-negative. Omitting IHC may obscure their detection. Incorporating IHC into routine nodal evaluation may enhance prognostic assessment and guide treatment decisions.
