Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the clinicopathological features of breast cancer, and explore the related factors of axillary lymph node metastasis in patients with breast cancer.
MethodsThe clinical data of 105 breast cancer patients treated with operation, and diagnosed by pathology, were retrospectively analyzed.The relative factors of axillary lymph node metastasis were investigated.
ResultsAmong 105 patients, 45 cases with axillary lymph node metastasis were found, and the metastasis rate was 42.9%.The differences of the age, tumor length, tumor location, histological grade, pathological type, vascular cancer embolus infiltration and axillary lymph node metastasis rate in breast cancer patients were statistically significant(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).The results of multivariate logistic analysis showed that the long tumor in length diameter and vascular cancer embolus infiltration were the independent risk factors of axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer(P < 0.05).
ConclusionsThe length diameter of tumor size and tumor vascular invasion are the independent risk factors of axillary lymph node metastasis.
