PB.41. What is the incidence of internal mammary node lymphadenopathy on CT in primary breast cancer patients within 1 year of a diagnosis?

Authors: S Savaridas, J Cox

Published in: Breast Cancer Research | Special Issue 1/2014

Excerpt

The importance of internal mammary nodes (IMNs) in the staging and treatment of breast cancer patients is controversial. Lymphoscintigraphic studies have demonstrated that a significant proportion of breast cancers have primary or partial IMN drainage. However, historical studies demonstrated no overall benefit of treating IMNs with either surgery or radiotherapy. But with recent advances in treatment, targeted radiotherapy of the IMN chain is now possible. Thus we sought to establish the frequency of IMNs within our primary breast cancer population. …
