Abstract
The presence of tumor cells of high mean nuclear area (MNA) in axillary nodal metastases from breast carcinoma is related to the finding of tumor cells in the efferent nodal vessels. In cases without efferent vascular invasion (EVI) the MNA was on average lower. EVI positivity combined with a high MNA is associated with a poor prognosis. However, a subgroup was identified, i.e., the MNA 1, with the smallest nuclei, in which prognosis approached that in the EVI negative. In the latter the differences related to MNA groups were not statistically significant.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
